This wine is made from the Ruchè grape variety, which is indigenous to this area. The variety has an aromatic nose similar to the local Nebbiolo with cherry and violet notes. However, the sturcture of Ruchè is softer and more immediately approachable. In the glass, Crivelli Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato displays a beautiful ruby red color, enticing the senses with its vibrant appearance. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet filled with notes of ripe red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by floral undertones of violets and roses. These fragrant aromas create an alluring and captivating experience. On the palate, this wine showcases a medium body with a smooth and silky texture. The flavors of red fruits persist, with a touch of spiciness that adds complexity and depth. The well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the refreshing acidity contributes to a lively and harmonious finish. Crivelli Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its fruity and floral characteristics make it an excellent companion for roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own, allowing you to fully appreciate its unique qualities.

The fruit, hand-harvested and triple sorted (in the vineyard, before, and after destemming), was primarily whole berries gravity-fed into stainless steel fermenters. To concentrate the juice for red fermentations, approximately 20% of the juice was bled from the tanks after 24-48 hours and used for rosé. Fermentations were conducted separately by variety and clone, with daily pump overs and manual punch downs for maximum extraction of color, aroma, and flavor. After 8-10 days of fermentation and 7-14 days of post-fermentation maceration, the young wines were pressed and aged in French oak barrels for 12-15 months, completing malolactic fermentation in barrel.
