We construct a canonical noncommutative spectral triple for every closed oriented Riemannian manifold, which represents of the fundamental class in the twisted K-homology of the manifold. This so-called "projective spectral triple" is Morita equivalent to the well-known commutative spin spectral triple provided the manifold is spin-c. We give an explicit local formula for the twisted Chern character for K-theories twisted with torsion classes, and with this formula we show that the twisted Chern character of the projective spectral triple is identical to the Poincar\'e dual of the A-hat genus of the manifold. In addition, certain relation between cohomology of Lie algebroids and twisted de Rham cohomology is discovered.
