Castagnole Monferrato, Monferrato

Crivelli

Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato 2021

Why Rouche (Rouchet) is not more popular is a mystery to me. Gorgeous extroverted nose of purple florals, mountain berries, and crushed stone. Round, fruity, and full flavored, it’s got some soft tannin framing the deep fruit. Complexity isn’t its thing, but it delivers on character. — 7 months ago

Scarpa (Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa)

Briccorosa Rouchet Monferrato Rosso Ruche 2014

A bright, fun + festive wine from one of Piemonte’s unicorn varieties, made in an unexpectedly elegant style. Smells like cinnamon + berries. Tastes like Nebbiolo on spring break. Drinks like silk. — 4 years ago

In Los Cabo with Jeff and Chris. At Toro. Absolutely phenomenal Barbera. Balance. Fruit without fruit. Hint of barnyard. Hard to beat. — 8 months ago

Opera Prima Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato Ruche 2010

Something different. Bit hot and very foursquare, but not trying to be anything else. Ideal for a ragout. — 5 years ago

Tenuta Grillo

Pecoranera Monferrato Barbera 2004

Actually a Freisa. Medium–full bodied. Funky, farmy, and leathery. Sheepskin nose. Lush, velvety tannins. Wet granite, prunes, damp earthy mushrooms, tar, dried lilacs and roses. — 6 years ago

Montalbera

La Tradizione Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato Ruche 2015

Surprisingly good on the first night. I had Montalbera a few times 8-10 years ago, and wasn’t impressed. This was not bad but faded quickly. — 8 months ago
