Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato Docg 2019
A vine, the Ruché, fascinating and mysterious …defined “the prince of Monferrato”. This wine comes from calcareous-clay soils in the locality of Viarigi in the province of Asti. A splendid bright ruby red, with a rose-dog nose but also red fruits and wet earth, in the mouth is enveloping and elegant. Serve at 16-18 second C.

Wine cellar
The land was an old abandoned vineyard that, through a series of works, it was restored by planting, around 2009, new rooted ruchè, barbera and grignolino.
The production area includes the municipalities of Castagnole Monferrato, Grana, Montemagno, Portacomaro, Refrancore, Scurzolengo and Viarigi.

Here we met Giancarlo from Cantina Cascinetta Bortolin…
