| New to our portfolio in April 2007, La Mondianese is our second producer of the very rare wine: Ruche' di
Castagnole
Monferrato. Located in the hills of Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno ("big hill") in the province of Asti, the La Mondianese farm covers 6 acres and the cellar has been updated with state of the art modern encology. Tasting notes: Medium-bodied, clean and fresh, it suggests roses, dark red berry fruit and hints of black pepper. Reviews: * * * (Three stars) “One of Piedmont’s most interesting grapes, Ruche shows its potential in this light-bodied wine full of tart red berry, grapefruit, dried rose petal and spice.” Food&Wine Wine Guide 2008 “A whiff of high-toned oak on first impression quickly gives way to delicious floral scents - violets for sure, maybe roses - and a crisp, dry impression of cranberries, ripe and tart.” Robin Garr's 30 Second Wine Advisor - 9/14/07 |
