“If someone offers you a glass of Ruchè it is because he likes you,” says a famous sentence that expresses the culture of a part of Monferrato, where Ruchè is always drunk on great family occasions or in moments of celebration and where it has found his favorite abode. The origin of this vine, according to scholars, is Burgundy, and then moved, thanks to some monastic orders in this part of Piedmont, then becoming DOCG in 2010 thanks to the commitment and stubbornness of people who have always believed in this particular grape variety.
Tenuta Montemagno has contributed in an extraordinary way to the development of Ruchè, both for a creed of the Barea family in the denomination, and for the studies done by the professionals and agronomists of the company.
From this path was born the Ruchè “Invictus”, which joins the already existing Ruchè “Nobilis” and it is precisely the Invictus that outlines the great potential of this vine, because the natural withering in the plant enhances the aromatic concentrations already so complex to make it unique in its kind.
The Ruchè has a very marked personality, almost impossible to compare it to any other red wine, and the production disciplinary, which only uses the aging in steel, allows it to have a deep ruby red color, but in the case of Ruchè Invictus the anthocyanic notes are even more marked and intriguing.
The sense of smell amazes, hour after hour, due to complexity and frankness, to that floral impact of violet and pink thea violet that is harmonized by aromatic notes of wild herbs and wild mint, confirmed on the palate where the entrance, savory and very balanced, shows notes of peel of peppers and oriental spices enhanced by a softness that is the common denominator of the wines of the Estate.
Appreciated with baked quail or with plin with roast sauce, Ruchè Invictus will always prove to be a protagonist rich in charm and personality.
