Ruchè Laccento 2019 Montalbera
Ruchè Laccento 2019 is a red wine produced by Montalbera. It is the most representative label of the winery and of the concept of wine-fruit, at the base of their business philosophy: wine must in fact exalt the characteristics of the grape from which it is made, and in case of Ruchè, a semi-aromatic grape characterized by intense varietal aromas and by a great drinkability, the over-ripening of grapes on the vine raises even more these peculiarities, giving life to a seductive and irresistible wine.
For the same reason it was chosen to age this bottle in steel tanks, a material which, as opposed to wood, allows the preservation of the original characteristics of grapes. With a luminous ruby red color, it expresses an intense and characteristic nose of flowers, in particular rose, red fruits in jam and spicy notes of black pepper for a rich and enveloping sip, smooth with a silky tannin, very persistent.
This Ruchè, also called the other side of Piedmont because of its pleasing characteristics which make it different in style from the typical Piedmontese wines, is excellent in matching with structured and aromatic dishes, perfect also as a meditation wine.
