Winemaker Notes
Born from the love that binds a grandfather and a grandson, the company’s founder and his future heir, beyond time. A new way of interpreting Ruchè born from the perfect vineyard, Bricco della Gioia, a small plot where the soil, exposure, microclimate, utmost care and selection in the vineyard combine to create a unique and inimitable wine. The quality of this flagship wine is confirmed on the palate: elegance and finesse harmonize with its power and structure, releasing warm, soft and persistent taste sensations, in balance between fruity mass and very fine tannins. It is stored in the unique and remarkable cellar carved out of the tuff – the family infernot – an authentic historical jewel.
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
