Ruchè

The red grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Moscatellina, Rochè, Romitagi, Rouchet and Rouché.

Ruchè - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

According to one hypothesis, it was supposedly introduced to Piedmont from Burgundy in France in the 18th century, but there is no historical or genetic evidence to support this. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Malvasia Aromatica di Parma x Croatina.

Characteristics

The early to medium-ripening vine is susceptible to powdery mildew. It produces spicy, tannin-rich red wines with a violet-ruby colour and floral aromas of violets and roses.
