*3R* 2021 Marco Crivelli Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato (Piedmont, IT)
Widely viewed as “Il Principe del Monferrato”, Ruchè is only cultivated in seven villages and Crivelli’s expression of this finicky varietal is considered to be one of the region’s best. Its bouquet is unique; it’s intense, fine, enveloping and pleasantly aromatic, offering a clear idea of the red fruit, floral, and even herbal notes that follow through on the palate. Marco Crivelli recommends that his Ruchè be paired with meat, game, and aged cheeses.
About The Varietal
Ruche
Ruchè is a Piedmontese grape variety in Italy that has emerged from relative obscurity as a dark-skinned grape to attain its own designation, known as Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato. These wines are notable for their light color and intricate aromas, somewhat reminiscent of the acclaimed Nebbiolo wines from the same region.
How To Enjoy
