Informations about region

Piemonte, one of the largest wine regions of Italy situated in the northwest part of the country, with an area of 23 399 km². Its landforms consist of plains (24,4%), hills (30,3%), and mountainous areas (43,3%) – the mountain ranges of the Alps in the highest parts more than 4000 metres high, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso.

This unique position and two big rivers flowing through Piemonte – Pad and Tanaro provide excellent conditions for grape growing, and due to big temperature differences grapes accumulate aroma compounds.

The ancient Greeks reaching the Ligurian ports apart from the amphors full of wine, brought with them cuttings of grapes and began wine cultivation on the inland areas. After the fall of the Roman Empire and the invasions of barbarians wine cultivation developed all the time. Since the Middle Ages the city of Asti has been widely known for its good and fine wines. There was the first mention about Nebbiolo - the most famous grape of this region.

    A dry red wine of Piedmont‘s native grape, Ruché. This grape is present only in the surroundings of seven towns of the Monferrato zone, among which Castagnole and Portacomaro. Probably the variety was introduced here by friars already in the Middle Ages and planted around a monastery of Saint Rocco, which doesn‘t exist any longer, hence the name. The name of the wine, Na Vota, in the piedmontese dialect signifying the beginnings or a challenge. The year 1990 was a challenge for the Cavallero brothers, because their Ruché was harvested for the first time. If there are unique wines that can‘t be made elsewhere than its own, proper territory, Ruché is certainly among them. This wine is made from a selection of grapes derived from four Cantine‘s vineyards. Depending on quality every year the yields from certain vineyards are different. Chalky soils are ideal for growing of this aromatic variety. The entire process of fermentation and ageing is given only in stainless steel tanks, therefore this wine maintains its unique aroma and freshness.
    Color: ruby red with violet reflections.
    Aroma: rich, complex, notes of orange peel, musk, rose, pepper.
    Flavor: soft, gently tannic.
    Food matching: excellent with cured meats, grilled meats, roast pork ribs.
