{"title":"Crivelli","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarco Maria Crivelli’s ancestors moved to Castagnole Monferrato—in the hills of  Basso Monferrato Astigiano, an area particularly suited to  grape growing — from the nearby hamlet of Serra Crivelli, establishing a small farm in 1860. The area’s soils, rich in minerals and organic substances, originate from the ancient seabed that covered these hills millions of years ago. By 1919, the family had planted vineyards and sold grapes until the late 1980s, when they started bottling their own wines under Marco’s direction. Today, Marco is the president of a small group of farmers who fervently believe in the excellence of Ruché, a rare grape varietal indigenous to the province of Asti, and it is his son Jonathan who is at the helm of this critically acclaimed, sustainable winery and 10 hectares of vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ruche-di-castagnole-monferrato-2024","title":"Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eRuchè di Castagnole Monferrato is a tiny wine region tucked into the Monferrato hills of Piedmont, in the province of Asti, between Asti and Casale Monferrato. Production is limited to just seven communes around the town of Castagnole Monferrato, making this a genuinely rare find. Ruchè is a native variety that nearly went extinct in the late 1970s — saved through the efforts of many, including Marco Maria Crivelli — and today produces wines like this gorgeous entry that feels made for Spring. The nose offers hints of ripe cherry, geranium, and apricot. On the palate, the wine is elegant and velvety — full-bodied yet well-balanced, with low acidity that makes it easygoing and pleasantly smooth. Perfect with cheeses and light fare, and just as easy to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStaff Pick: \"Pronounced 'roo-kay,' this chillable, velvety red is a real charmer and perfect for Spring.
