Food Match:

It combines well with tasty dishes accompanied by soups, vegetable mousses and unseasoned cheeses.

Information About Ca' Rugate

Ca’ Rugate established by the Tessari family in 1986, takes its name from the volcanic hills where most of the vineyards are to be found. The Ca’ Rugate vineyards cover 40 hectares, 30 of which are located within the commune of Monteforte d’Alpone in the rugged heart of Soave Classico; and 10 hectares in the commune of Montecchia di Crosara in nearby Valpolicella. For many generations, these gentle sloping hills have been a cradle for high quality wines; due to the unique sunny microclimate and rich volcanic soil. Ca’ Rugate uses only indigenous grape varieties such as Garganega, and Trebbiano di Soave for white wines; and Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone for reds. In the vineyard, they use modern pruning techniques, along with careful canopy management and green pruning; while the latest vinification techniques bring out distinctive aromas and refined flavours in the wines.
