Description
This bowl-shaped hilly terrain is composed of sandstone and clay marl that ensures that the glera grapes almost achieve over-ripeness, and thus develop an inimitable concentration of aromas. The resulting sparkling wine retains all the crispness of a Prosecco Superiore, takes on a slight sweetness and exhibits a dense complex of fragrances.

In 1983, Cesare Ruggeri launched into the field of sparkling wines, and today it boasts an extraordinary heritage of expertise spread over a vast array of its own production secrets, a deep understanding of its entire growing area and its vineyards; and an inborn sensitivity to the health and well-being of each vineyard.
For some years now, Cesare’s three children, Silvia, Alberto, and Veronica, have been intensely involved in winery activities, bringing a surge of enthusiasm and the invaluable innovative spirit characteristic of the younger generations, without forgetting the love for their own land and respect for winemaking traditions.
Although from the outside the winery complex looks like the traditional local farmstead, with its attached winecellar, the interior is marked by a modernity that boasts the most technologically-advanced equipment. The estate vineyards, totalling a full 40 hectares, are not a common feature of the denomination but a distinctive feature of this operation.
They do not all lie near the winery, but are distributed among 16 farm properties in the Valdobbiadene and Conegliano areas and in that of Montello. This makes the creation of wines possible with ultra-distinctive personalities that reflect the specific characteristics innate in the soils and weather conditions of very uncommon terroirs.
