Full description
There is a wine so rare that it has a museum all to itself.
It is Ruchè, one of the rarest native grape varieties grown in the Asti Monferrato region. You’ll discover this by taking part in our guided tour of the Ruchè Museum, complete with a tasting session, during which you’ll sample five different expressions of Ruchè.
A two-hour experience, celebrating history and flavour!
What we will do
We’ll meet 10 minutes before the selected time at the Museo del Ruchè in Casa Ferraris, Castagnole Monferrato (AT) . Once there, we’ll meet the guide who’ll be taking us on this adventure!
Once all participants have gathered, the experience will begin with a guided tour of the Ruchè Museum: this is situated inside the village castle, amongst cellars dating back to the 18th century and a characteristic Piedmontese ‘infernot’ carved out of tuff. During the tour, which lasts around 40 minutes, we’ll learn about the history of the Ferraris family, as well as interesting facts about the Monferrato region and Ruchè wine.
We will then take our seats in the tasting room: we will sample five different expressions of the Ruchè grape variety, accompanied by a small platter of local cold cuts and cheeses.
The experience lasts a total of approximately 2 hours.
Who it is aimed at
This experience is recommended for those aged 18 and over.
The wine tasting is reserved for participants aged 18 and over only. Any underage participants will be served a platter accompanied by a non-alcoholic drink.
