Wine Description & Tasting Notes
Ruchè is an indigenous grape from Monferrato. Its obscure origin makes it full of fascination and mystery, also in the light of the different and in some ways enigmatic way in which its name is pronounced, depending on where its admirers come from.
A Rebus, then, as its label says. The Ruchè grape grows on the dry, calcareous soils of a restricted area of Basso Monferrato (seven municipalities led by Castagnole Monferrato, from which the DOCG takes its name) and produces wines of limited quantity and high quality, characterised by moderate acidity and soft tannins.
“Rebus” Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG is made 100% from Ruchè grape.
It has a fair ruby red colour and a unique and intense nose with floral and spicy aromas, sometimes with hints of wild berries and morello cherries. On the palate, the wine is nicely dry, soft with a good aromatic finish.
