Produced in the area around Alessandria, especially on the final stretch of the Monferrato hills that slope down towards the Po. This light ruby-red wine is made from Barbera grapes with additions of Freisa and/or Grignolino. Vinification requires an ageing process of at least one year, while the minimum alcohol content must be 11.50 degrees.
Rubino Cantavenna is great paired with the typical dishes of Monferrato. Anchovies in parsley, olive oil and garlic, frittata di livertin, polenta (cornmeal) with cod, vegetable soup and fried fish are just some examples with which it is worth trying this red wine. Best served at a temperature of 16-18 °C.
