Lovely bright floral red made from the Ruché grape from a DOCG around Monferrato, northeast of Asti. This Scarpa bottling has a DOC badge. High end producer, low production at 3880 bottles. Reminds me of some high-end Dolcetto’s (Giacosa etc) but without some of the blue fruit notes. Perfect with dark chocolate, but enough acid to pair with anything rich. Will buy again.

A very different wine! Not bad, but unusual. Might break out at a dinner/apps party for variety.
