Ethanol Has Higher Lower End Torque?

I posted this article in another thread, but had a question about it not related to that thread. According to this article, ethanol fuel has a higher amount of lower end torque.

But he was surprised to learn of the fuel’s advantages, primarily its higher octane rating, which exceeds 100, and the superior low-end torque it produced in a properly configured engine.
My question is, if this is true, how it is possible. Any ideas?
