Tasting Notes

Pro Nobis is Ruché at its finest, the result of a careful selection of the best grapes in the vineyards. The blend of aromas alternate in an indescribable array of colors, scents, tastes, and sensations. It is elegant, well structured and spicy. Pairs well with game and spicy dishes such as Thai or Indian cuisine.

ABOUT THE GRAPE VARIETY

Ruchè is a variety of Piedmont that has risen from virtual obscurity as a little-known, dark-skinned variety to having its own appellation, Ruche’ di Castagnole Monferrato, elevated to DOCG status in 2010. Its origins are disputed, with some claiming Ruchè as indigenous to the region, while others claim it has Burgundian roots. Destined for family consumption in the past, it was the wine of ‘important occasions’, offered to the nearest and dearest, always associated with life’s beautiful moments.

Ruchè wines can be characterized by their lightness in color and complex aromas – somewhat akin to the lauded Nebbiolo of the region. The similarities continue with Ruchè having fine but forceful tannins and good acidity to stimulate the palate.
