The Ruché Laccento by Montalbera is a red wine that is impossible not to fall in love with. Its delicate color, intriguing aromas, and smoothness on the palate are its typical and unique characteristics. The Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato is an indigenous grape variety from Piemonte that the Montalbera winery transforms into a great wine, pleasant and fun to drink. We are in Castagnole Monferrato, where in 2010 the Ruché obtained the DOCG as further recognition of the quality of this grape; a grape capable of giving life to a wine with a perfect body, balanced aromas, and unique flavors and fragrances.
Once it was the wine of celebration, now it has something legendary as it is often associated with the nectar that accompanied the Astigian militias in the crusades, contributing to the victory of the Lombards over the Franks in the battles of Refrancore. The clear aromas depend on the fact that 95% of the production is harvested from overripe grapes, while 5% comes from grapes that ripen earlier than optimal. After harvest, the Ruché di Montalbera rests for at least 6 months in the bottle at a temperature never exceeding 10 degrees; a temperature that ensures and maintains the high residual sugar of this wine.
The Ruché di Montalbera is an important wine, seductive and of great longevity, with an elegance and sinuosity that is truly intense. The flower, especially the rose petals and geranium, and the fruit present in the aroma guarantee a unique charm and truly intense emotions for those who drink it. A Ruche that, as Don Cauda said, "tasted in moderation frees the spirit and opens the mind..."
