In Castagnole Monferrato, Ferraris Agricola carries forward a family history deeply linked to Ruché DOCG, a rare and identity-defining grape variety that the winery has helped make known in Italy and around the world.
The meeting with Chiara, wife of Luca Ferraris, the winery owner, is striking for the strength of the narrative: a story that spans generations, departures, returns, and decisive choices, eventually transforming a family dream into a recognized winemaking project.
It is a story that starts from the Monferrato hills, reaches the California of the gold rush, and then returns to Castagnole, in a time when toil and the malora (hardship) of the Piedmontese hills were part of everyday life.
Today, Ferraris Agricola combines production, hospitality, and memory: alongside the wines, at Casa Ferraris you can visit the Ruché Museum and the spaces dedicated to tastings, to get a close-up look at the identity of a winery, a grape variety, and its land.
