The veteran playmaker lashed home a low shot from 25 yards with virtually the last kick of the game to cruelly deny the Granata and extend the Bianconeri's remarkable winning run at home in the league to 25 matches.
It looked as though the reigning champions and leaders would have to settle for a draw when Torino's Bruno Peres scored a superb individual goal midway through the first half, cancelling out Arturo Vidal's twice-taken penalty in the 15th minute.
The home side were even reduced to 10 men in the 78th minute when Stephan Lichtsteiner picked up a second yellow card, but Massimiliano Allegri's men were still able to find a winner right at the end.
Peres' goal was Torino's first against their fierce rivals since February 2002, and it looked as though they would be the first visiting side to come away from a league game at Juventus Stadium with anything since Cagliari in May 2013.
