Try with Truncate function:

First, you need to activated Text extension:

# app/config/config.yml
  services:
    twig.extension.text:
        class: Twig_Extensions_Extension_Text
        tags:
            - { name: twig.extension }

Then, you can call truncate() helper within your Twig template as follow:

{{ variable.description | truncate(100, true) }}
