Bava Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato
For the residents of Castagnole Monferrato, Ruchè is considered the wine of choice by the Parish Priest. Father Cauda is credited with creating the modern Ruchè, a local grape that was traditionally used for sweet wines, but now produces a classic red. While it shares some genetic similarities with Primitivo, Zinfandel, and other wines, Ruchè stands out as an original and unique wine with a fragrant aroma, dry taste, and moderate acidity. This special wine is only produced in seven municipalities of Monferrato, making it a rare find that is perfect for those seeking something authentic and uncommon to pair with modern cuisine.
Aromatic with scents of rose and violet, it acquires distinct spicy notes of white pepper. The palate is balanced and soft, warm and persistent. Unusual and unmistakable it evolves over time becoming more and more refined up to five years after the harvest, while preserving the essence and the fragrance of the grape of origin.
