Crivelli  Ruche 2016

"If someone in Castagnole Monferrato offers to you a Ruchè, it's because he cares of you." This is the catch-phrase welcoming a visitor entering their small Village.

Discovered about 25 years ago, the Ruchè origins are still uncertain, and someone calls it the wine of the mystery, but the fact is that the Ruchè of Castagnole Monferrato is unique.

The intriguing scents (among which the leaf of geranium) and the refined taste build the base conditions to define it the "Red Prince of Monferrato."

Crivelli  Collina La Mora Barbera d'Asti 2015

When young it is rich of fruity vinosity, that through the time it evolves in an intense, ethereal, persistent fragrance.

Aged 1-2 years, the wine enriches in a more or less marked garnet hues, until it turns into garnet after the third year of life. The intensity gives to the wine a violet hue.

Notable body, good acidity, good structure and good alcohol leaving a sense of fullness in the mouth.

Crivelli  Grignolino d'Asti 2015

A typical wine of the left shore of river Tanaro. Its color is ruby red, reminding rose wines, and in fact it is called "the redder of the whites" or "the whiter of the reds."

A spectacular rendition of Piemonte's Gignolino, a wine of robust and fresh aromas and flavors and smooth as silk finish. The translucent cherry red color is a showstopper, but the bold aromas of tangy strawberry, crunchy black cherry, citrus peel and a touch of tar are even better. Round and mouth watering-ly bright, it finishes juicy and long with very soft, fine, tannins.
