This is what good wine from the Ruchè grape tastes like

The Ruchè or Rouchet grape produces spicy red wines with an expressive, floral aroma, substantial tannins, and not too high acidity. That is, if you can find a bottle of (almost) pure Ruchè, because that is not so easy.

In any case, for the Ruchè, you have to go to Northern Italy, to Piedmont. There, this rather rare grape grows in the hills of Monferrato. It ends up in bottles with Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOC on the label.
