That is an ancient native vine that grows only in this strip of Piedmont. INVICTUS comes from a particular production of Ruchè grapes with late harvest to give great structure and personality. A wine of great elegance, velvety and lingering. It is true rarity, found only in Piedmont. The grape is autochthonous and can be grown only in a limited area around the Tenuta Montemagno.
Thanks to vineyards facing south-west, the microclimate enjoyed by this area with its clayey calcareous soil, a process carried out by hand, the brilliant intuitions of the Barea family and the expertise of oenologist Gianfranco Cordero, Tenuta Montemagno produces bottles of great prestige now figuring among the top 100 Italian wines.
As tradition requires, after the grape harvest, vinification and refining are done in the ancient frescoed cellars at Tenuta Montemagno, using the most modern technology. This is where traditional wines of strong character and decidedly new ones, such as TM Brut, obtained from Barbera grapes using the classic method, come to life and are allowed to rest for the necessary time.
This land preserves the Asti area’s most precious treasure. Riches that Tenuta Montemagno display in the luxuriance of its crops. From the same municipality of Montemagno the vineyards extend as far as neighbouring Altavilla, Viarigi and Casorzo. Sight is strained by taking in rows and rows of some of the most ancient and famous Piemonte vines.
100% Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato.
This dark red wine features purple and black reflections and intense notes of roses, violets, and ripe red fruit. It is markedly tannic and aromatic on the palate, very long-lived and elegant.
It pairs well with roast, meat dishes and medium strength cheeses. Serve at 18/20C.
