Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG Laccento 2022 Montalbera

The Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato Laccento belongs to the Bricco Montalbera Selection and originates from the vineyards located on the Montalbera hill which enjoy the best exposure to the sun, capable of producing unexpected results. This wine represents the highest quality level reached by the winery which allows it to receive recognition from critics. The name Laccento refers to Montalbera's desire to place a decisive emphasis on quality with this label.

It originates from a selection of the most ripe Ruchè grapes from the best company vineyards. The vinification requires that a part of the bunches is subjected to drying, while the remaining part is left to overripe directly in the vineyard. Prolonged maceration in contact with the marc will transfer the aromatic richness of the grapes to the mass. The refinement takes place in the bottle for at least 6-8 months.

It is characterized by a ruby red color that turns to garnet after a few years of aging in bottle. The aroma is intense and persistent, with hints of rose petals and berries in jam. In the mouth it is warm and persuasive, elegant, with great agility.

Suitable in the company of a risotto with mushrooms or stewed red meats, it is perfect in combination with medium-aged savory cheeses.
