Description
For all the inhabitants of Castagnole Monferrato, Ruchè is considered the wine of the parish priest. In fact, Don Cauda was the father of modern Ruchè, a native grape cultivated over the centuries for small productions of sweet wines until he began to cultivate a modern vineyard and spread it as a classic red wine. Genetic similarities have been attributed to it with Primitivo, Zinfandel and other wines with which it shares an unusual aromatic heritage, but Ruchè is simply original and unique. It is a fragrant, dry wine with sweet, light tannins, moderate acidity and good alcoholic strength. It can only be produced in seven municipalities of Monferrato: too few in quantity to be a world wine, it is available to those seeking something authentic but unusual for contemporary cuisine.

More than 115 years and six generations have passed since that first harvest. Over time, the finest Bava Barberas have earned recognition in many countries thanks to the consistently high quality of the estate’s production.
Today the winery is led by Piero Bava, grandson of the founder and widely regarded as one of the "Patriarchs of Barbera." Piero carries on the family tradition together with his sons Roberto, Giulio and Paolo, and his grandchildren Francesca and Giorgio: three generations working side by side to offer, across 55 markets worldwide, wines that speak of Piedmont, authenticity and deep respect for the land.
Dozens of menus created by Roberto Bava for the legendary Bava Dinners — gastronomic events held across all five continents — now hang on the winery walls, bearing witness to the creativity and long, vibrant history of the Bava family. Read more
