Clàsic Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG2020- Azienda Agricola Luca Ferraris

Ruchè Clasic of grapes come from the best exposed vineyards, which means the southwestern side of the hills. Due to severe pruning, these vineyards never produce more than seven tons per hectare. The fermentation is carried out in 54 hectoliter temperature-controlled French oak barrels for 15 to 20 days, depending on the quality of the grapes at the time of pressing. A controlled temperature of 23 degrees allows the fermentation time to be extended and the must to be kept in contact with skins for longer. During this time, the skins give the must more structure, tannins and color. This is important, especially for Ruchè, whose exact flavors are its main property. After fermentation is complete, the wine rests for six months in the same barrels, woxxzzmalolactic fermentation also takes place, perfect containers because they allow the exchange of oxygen, which allows for faster maturation of the wine and for the development of elegant fragrance, without too much oak.
