Crivelli, Ruche' di Castagnole Monferrato, 2024
Ruche is Piedmont's most mysterious grape, and Crivelli is the name that saved it - Marco Crivelli has been the longtime champion and president of the Ruche producers' association, a tiny band convinced this aromatic oddity deserves a place at the table. Grown in just seven villages around Castagnole Monferrato, the family has farmed here since 1860, with son Jonathan now at the helm working ten hectares. They've ditched wood entirely for stainless steel, which keeps Ruche's perfumed, floral character front and center. This is a red that smells like roses and tastes like a secret. If it's offered, you want to spend some time with it.
