Used mainly in making Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato, a small production red Varietal wine from Italy's north-western region of Piemonte (Piedmont)
Although there are several debates of its origins, logic leads us to believe it is an indigenous varietal.
Currently, the DOC recognized area of production for the wine, covers only about 100 acres of vines around the villages of Castagnole Monferrato, Refrancore, Grana, Montemagno, Viarigi, Scurzolengo and Portacomaro. Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato is, therefore, one of the lowest production varietal wines in Italy.
Light in color, as its more famous paesano Nebbiolo with great acid and tannins.
The appellation was elevated to DOCG status in 2011
