Castagnole Monferrato, Monferrato, Piedmont, Italy
Dark and wild. Starts out with a blast of red cherries and then descends into spice and funk with interesting acidity and austerity.

Fun. 100% Ruché, similar to Nebbiolo, with all the classic markers, light red fruit, roses, tar plus a fist full of pepper. It's like Barolo and Crozes had a baby. Maybe Langhe and not Barolo. Fun wine with prosciutto and arugula late night.

Minerally, spicy, fruity. Nice acidity. Everything you want out of a Ruchè. Not all in your face, though.
