A distinctive, aromatic Piedmont red with rose-petal perfume, spice and a warm, persistent finish.

Cantine Sant’Agata is the Cavallero family estate in Scurzolengo, Asti, and one of the producers closely associated with Ruchè’s modern dry style. ‘Na Vota—“once upon a time” in Piedmontese—was the family’s first Ruchè bottling.

In the glass
Violet and rose, red fruit, hay and gentle vanilla; warm and intriguing on the palate, with a full body and long aromatic persistence.

How it is made
100% Ruchè from four vineyards is gently destemmed and pressed, fermented on the skins for 12–14 days at approximately 27°C with daily punchdowns, then completes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.

Enjoy it with
Game, braised poultry, richly aromatic dishes, charcuterie or a simple pastry-style dessert.
