Classified as a Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC), the wine originates from the specific terroir of Castagnole Monferrato in northwestern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastagnole Monferrato is situated in the Monferrato hills within the Asti province. The vineyards are typically planted at altitudes ranging from 120 to 400 meters above sea level. The area experiences a continental climate with warm summers and cool nights, ensuring a stable ripening period. The soil is predominantly composed of calcareous clay, limestone, and silt. This unique combination of geography, climate, and soil provides the ideal growing conditions for the rare Ruché grape. Historically, this Piedmontese variety was close to disappearing before being successfully revived by local efforts in the second half of the 20th century. The appellation officially achieved its DOC recognition in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe broader Piedmont region, whose name translates to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is bordered by the Alps and stands as one of the most prestigious wine-producing areas globally. The landscape is defined by dramatic, steep hills that are frequently wrapped in thick autumn fog, a natural feature that protects the vines and supports a long ripening season. Piedmont is celebrated for its deep focus on terroir and its tradition of passionate winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled in Italy by Cantina Sociale Castagnole Monferrato, this red wine is presented in a 750 ml bottle with an alcohol content of 13%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cantina Sociale Castagnole Monferrato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57797872943430,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1897_bbbb26f6-855b-44a2-b326-9920a109cf9c.jpg?v=1793971736","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/ruche-di-castagnole-monferrato-cantina-sociale-castagnole-monferrato-1996-1","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
