Description:
Deep ruby red in colour. Intense aromas of black fruit and cherries, and a twist of spice from the wood, followed by a mellow rounded palate with elegant tannin balance.
Winery:
Ca' Rugate is an agricultural business in Veneto which produces local wines that express in a simple and natural way the land in which they are grown, that of Soave Classico, Valpolicella and Lessini Durello. The company has known how to innovate, reinterpreting traditions and investing in the vineyards most suited to the cultivation of historical vine types. Its history goes back 100 years, bound inseparably to the Tessari family for four generations, and to the dark and volcanic land of the Rugate hill, near the centre of Brognoligo, where it all began.
Wine Making:
The undried grapes are destemmed and fermented straight after the harvest. The dried grapes are added later and allowed to ferment in stainless steel for a week before pressing at the end of December. The wine is then transferred into small barrels to finish fermentation and then mature in wood for 8 to10 months.
