This wine from the Langhe denomination reflects the best characteristics of each of the starting wines, made from grapes that ripen admirably on these hills and whose juice is a concentrate of sweetness and colour. It presents itself with such an intense red that it appears purple. The nose is full of fresh and fruity sensations with notes of small red fruits, but also of blackberries, plums and aromatic herbs. It is an austere wine, but soft and rounded.
The Roman fundus of Mignane, the base of the gentle slopes of Vèngore, is the beginning and end of the valley, from which everything begins and in which everything gathers.
The spicy aromas recall notes of rose, pepper and hazelnut.

On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, the Ferraris Agricultural Company presented a limited edition celebratory box set, containing four vintages (2017-2018-2019-2020) and the book "60 years of Ruchè", dedicated to Don Cauda and the vine in general. Four vintages with an alternation between the cooler ones (2020 and 2018) and the hotter and drier ones, all with different characteristics: 2020 characterized by a bouquet of intense floral notes, crunchy fruit and a light minty note on the finish. 2019 brings a light spicy and undergrowth note to the glass. 2018 has floral notes of dog rose, persistent and fine tannins. 2017 is characterized by a young, slightly pungent tannin.
