RUCHÈ OF CASTAGNOLE MONFERRATO DOCG RISERVA
RUCHÈ OF CASTAGNOLE MONFERRATO DOCG RISERVA

Born from the love that binds a grandfather and a grandson, the company’s founder and his future heir, beyond time. A new way of interpreting Ruchè born from the perfect vineyard, Bricco della Gioia, a small plot where the soil, exposure, microclimate, utmost care and selection in the vineyard combine to create a unique and inimitable wine. The quality of this flagship wine is confirmed on the palate: elegance and finesse harmonize with its power and structure, releasing warm, soft and persistent taste sensations, in balance between fruity mass and very fine tannins. It is stored in the unique and remarkable cellar carved out of the tuff – the family infernot – an authentic historical jewel.
