This wine shines a spotlight on Ruchè, a rare grape variety from Piedmont grown almost exclusively around the village of Castagnole Monferrato. Montalbera offers a pure, unadorned expression of the grape, with stainless steel vinification that respects its true character. The result is a red with personality—supple, floral, and refreshingly different from the more familiar styles of northern Italy. Try it slightly chilled with grilled poultry or antipasti.

(Automatically translated) Unique in its kind, Ruchè is very rarely vinified alone except by this producer who allows him to be 100% himself! A digestible wine that allows you to complement meals without overwhelming the flavors. A little 15 minutes in the fridge before of course.

(Automatically translated) A rather rare and excellent grape variety. On the palate, young and crunchy red fruits, perfect for an aperitif and with small bites, Portuguese-style chicken, seafood paella and chorizo...
