Pro Nobis is a Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato. Produced by Sant'Agata from a selection of grapes harvested in the oldest and best exposed vineyard, where natural selection has improved production. But that is not enough. Careful sorting of the grapes is also carried out, to ensure that only the best bunches are processed to obtain this prized crù. After fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the skins for a long time, loading itself with tannins and olfactory substances, and is then bottled after a minimum of one year's ageing in large wooden barrels. The result is a wine of great character, persistent 'beyond any possible written or told description', as stated on the producer's website. A wine characterised by a pleasant spiciness, it goes well with aromatic cuisine. Excellent in combination with game or with meat braised in the same wine.
Cantine Sant'Agata was born in the golden years of industrialisation, when young couples left the countryside for a secure wage near the big cities. Something that, fortunately, the parents of Franco Cavallero, the current owner of the company, did not do. Remaining in the small village of Scurzolengo, in the province of Asti, they continued to cultivate vines and then sell their wine. In the early 1990s, Franco and his brother Claudio became owners of the family farm, adopting the current name of Cantine Sant'Agata. The name refers to a votive pillar placed by a wealthy family in honour of Sant'Agata right in front of the winery. Today, the success of Sant'Agata wines in the world is linked above all to Ruchè, first planted by Franco's father years before anyone in the world asked for it.
