Bava Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato 2022

For all the Castagnole Monferrato inhabitants Ruchè is considered the wine of the Parish’s Priest. Father Cauda was in fact the creator of the modern Ruchè, an autochthonous grape grown over the centuries for a small production of sweet wines, until he started to cultivate a modern vineyard and promote this wine as a classic red. Genetic analogies with Primitivo, Zinfandel and other wines were attribuited to it; although it shares with these wines an unusual aromatic heritage Ruchè is simply original and unique. It is a fragrant, dry wine, with sweet and light tannins and moderate acidity and a good alcohol content. It can only be produced in seven municipalities of Monferrato: not enough in quantity to became an international wine, yet ideal for those who look for something autentic and unusual to match contemporary cuisine.
