Tried a new-to-me Italian 🇮🇹 varietal: Ruchè (pronounced roo-kay). This one was the 2022 “Sant'Eufemia" Ruchè Di Castagnole Monferrato from Ferraris Agricola in Piedmont, Italy.

Ruchè is a lesser known varietal that is making a comeback after spending most of the last century being used as a blending grape in Barbera and Dolcetto wines. Or when made on its own it was usually a sweet wine. But more recently it has seen a revival. The current versions are drier and more reflective of the terroir.

This one was heavy on purple floral notes on the nose with a palate of plums, black pepper, and a subtle vanilla. Still very young and tannic, but it shows great promise once it softens a little bit. I probably would have chosen something else a little more mature to pair with this excellent wagyu burger from . 🍔

That’s Sauvignon Blanc…in a plastic cup. Cardinal sin, but the wine options are limited in paradise. 🤷🏻‍♂️
