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.

Since then, over a hundred vintages have gone by, with four generations following one another. The best Bava Barberas are renowned in the world thanks to their high quality.
Today, the family estate extends in Monferrato and Langa, with fifty hectares of vineyards and twenty hectares of natural fields and woods, cultivated with the same awareness, care and attention of the olden times resulting in a sustainable agriculture with a reduced environmental impact.
Walking along the Bava vineyards, you will notice the grass clippings and the prunings used as natual fertilizers, the poles, all strictly made of wood coming from renewable forests or grassing between vine rows, which not only helps prevent soil erosion, but also serves as proof that no hebicides are used.
