Hand picked during the last two weeks of September,and laid flat in small wooden boxes containing an average of just six kilograms.This allows good air flow during the crucial drying process.
Intense garnet red in colour. Concentrated aromas of ripe blueberries, blackberries and cherries are enhanced with a hint of spicy oak. The palate is rich, full bodied and complex; beautifully balanced and lingering.
Serve to 18-20°C

| Food Match: |
| Traditionally served to accompany game, char-grilled meats and mature cheese. This is a great wine for special occasions and sharing with friends at the end of a meal. |
| Wine Making: |
| The grapes are allowed to dry gently in well-ventilated rooms for around 4-5 months, concentrating their flavours, sweetness and colour. In winter, the grapes are crushed, fermentation starts with natural yeast and then the must is filled into 500l oak casks to finish fermenting.The wine matures in wood for 25-30 months before bottling. |
| 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. |
