A family-owned winery with deep roots in Castagnole Monferrato where the winery is located. They played a significant role in furthering the Ruché variety, a lesser known indigenous Italian red varietal that makes vibrant, fresh, juicy, medium bodied reds with grippy, chewy tannin. An absolutely delicious everyday hearty wine, perfect with Italian cuisine & grilled meats.

90 points James Suckling: "Bright cherry fruit with a touch of cherry stone (very typical for the grape variety). Impressive depth on the medium-bodied palate for a variety that’s sometimes a bit flaky. The satisfying balance of fruit and supple tannin extend right to the end of the long, if rather simple, finish. Drink now. (7/6/23)"

Importer notes: "A light, fruity, and low-tannin red wine. Light ruby to ruby-red in color. A fruity, fresh bouquet. Dry, elegant, with mild acidity on the palate; soft tones of bitter almonds in the finish. Alcohol 12.5%."
