Wine Advocate: Dedicated to grandpa Martino, the Ferraris 2016 Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato Opera Prima per il Fondatore is a release of exactly 17,333 bottles packaged in a traditional label and closed with a wax cork. The wine is dark and savory on first nose, showing that the Ruché grape sheds lots of its primary intensity with just a little bit of bottle age. Dried cherry, spice, plum and lightly cured tobacco rise from this mid-weight red wine, aged for 24 months in French oak tonneaux and then a year in the bottle. Note the 15.5% alcohol content and consider a meaty casserole as an accompaniment. 92 points
