Intensely perfumed with aromas of barley sugar, ripe mango and peach with a beautifully long caramelised orange finish balanced by a lovely freshness. Quite superb.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
The family business has been handed down through the generations of the Tessari family since the early 1900s. The estate was renamed Ca’Rugate in 1986, taking its name from the volcanic hills where the vineyards are located. Now run by the fourth generation, Michele has brought with him a lively, passionate and entrepreneurial spirit. Considerable expansion has taken place in recent years, with investment in a new technologically advanced cellar and expansion into the Valpolicella area with the purchase of vineyards in the hilly zone of Montecchia di Crosara. The estate now covers 90 hectares of vineyard. Ca’Rugate has been awarded the prestigious ‘Tre Bicchieri’ award rating from Gambero Rosso multiple times, making it one of the most awarded producers in the competition and has been hailed by the New York Times as one of the “Top Five producers of High-End Soave”.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The volcanic origin of the Veneto land results in limestone and basalt characteristics, in which the Garganega grapes flourish. Only the best grapes are carefully selected from Ca’ Rugate’s vineyards in Brognoligo di Monteforte d’Alpone, where the vines yield 80 quintals per hectare. Since 2004, all of Ca’ Rugate’s vineyards have been cultivated with the most natural methods possible, in the name of environmental sustainability. Chemical fertilisers are not used; instead, cow manure on a three-year to five-year cycle, organic soil-improvers and organo-mineral fertilisers are employed.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were allowed to dry gently in well-ventilated rooms for approximately six to seven months, concentrating their flavours and sweetness. In the spring, the dried grapes were pressed and fermented in barrels with natural yeast, then matured in wood for 10 to 12 months.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
A bright golden and intensely perfumed wine, with floral notes complemented by hints of sultanas, dried figs, nuts and spices. Richly sweet and lingering on the palate, with a beautifully long caramelised fruit finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Garganega 100%.
