Description

Discover the magic of 'Laccento', the flagship Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato from the prestigious Montalbera estate. This wine is a true hidden gem from the Piedmont region of Italy, crafted from the rare and aromatic Ruché grape variety. Montalbera has dedicated itself to mastering this unique varietal, and 'Laccento' stands as a testament to their passion and precision. The grapes are carefully selected, with a portion undergoing over-ripening directly on the vine, which gives the wine its signature intensity and depth.

In the glass, 'Laccento' reveals a vibrant, intense ruby red color that promises an extraordinary sensory journey. On the nose, you will be greeted by an enchanting, persistent bouquet that is quintessentially Ruché: delicate yet intoxicating floral notes of rose petals combined with the rich, comforting aromas of wild berry jam and a subtle touch of exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is a masterclass in balance—it is remarkably soft and juicy, with an elegant structure and a silky mouthfeel that makes every sip feel effortless. Despite its intensity, it remains lively and approachable, culminating in a long, memorable finish that leaves a beautiful, aromatic trail.

This wine is incredibly versatile at the dinner table. Its aromatic profile and structural elegance make it a perfect companion for flavorful first courses like mushroom risotto, or as a sophisticated pairing for braised red meats and game. It also harmonizes beautifully with medium-aged, flavorful cheeses. Whether you are looking to impress your guests at a dinner party or simply want to explore one of Italy’s most fascinating and underrated wine treasures, 'Laccento' is a must-have for your collection. Experience the 'accent' on quality and tradition that defines the Montalbera house with every pour.
