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.
