Criölin RUCHÈ DOCG is a warm, intense, harmonious, full-bodied red wine made from 100% indigenous grape Ruchè, a local variety which was brought back to shine to deliver classy and intriguing wines.
The vineyards are characterized by calcareous soils mixed with marl and clayey layers. The manual harvest takes place at beginning of October, to ensure full sanity, elegance and complexity.
The vinification, fermentation/maturation and aging takes place in stainless steel.
The appearance is bright red with violet highlights in youth, and tending to garnet with age. The nose blends floral notes of rose and violet with hints of sweet spices and ripe blue (blueberry) & red fruits like raspberry and strawberry.
On the palate, silky tannins and refreshing vibrancy lead to a long, nuanced finish and delicate sweet spices.
Food match: Perfect with dishes like braised meats, roasted red meats, and aged cheeses.
Recommended serving-temperature of 16°-18°C
