Description
What kind of wine it is
Ruggeri Quartese Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut is a sparkling wine made from Glera grapes. This label expresses the soul of the Veneto region through a fresh and delicate style. In the glass, it displays a dense mousse with a fine and persistent perlage, which anticipates a fragrant aromatic profile. On the nose, clear notes of yellow apple, white-fleshed peach, citrus fruits and acacia flowers emerge. On the palate, it reveals itself as a well-balanced Brut, characterised by a pleasant acidity and a light savouriness.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in the Marca Trevigiana, on the slopes of the Dolomite foothills between Colle Umberto and Valdobbiadene. The vineyards are situated on well-drained and well-exposed soils, ideal conditions for regular ripening and for preserving natural freshness. The slopes of this hilly landscape give the wine a clean and linear expression. Belonging to this historic denomination ensures remarkable aromatic finesse and an extremely elegant texture.
How it is produced
The grapes are carefully hand-picked, selecting only the best bunches. The winery carries out a white vinification at a controlled temperature, excluding contact with the skins to maintain the delicacy of the aromas. Subsequently, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in a pressurised tank following the Martinotti method. This second fermentation shapes a fruity profile and guarantees a fresh finish. The entire production process makes this sparkling wine a suitable choice for vegans.

Ruggeri’s roots stretch far back to the nineteenth century, to Eliseo Bisol, who, along with his son Luigi was one of the first winemakers in Valdobbiadene. The business’s significant growth began in 1950 when Giustino Bisol founded the current winery with his cousin, and it was his surname, Ruggeri, that was chosen as the company name. The unswerving commitment to excellence continued with the work of Giustino’s son, Paolo, and granddaughter Isabella.
Since 2017, Ruggeri has been part of the Rotkäppchen-Mumm Group, a highly fruitful partnership which has paired our shared visions, trust in common values and a mutual commitment to ever higher quality standards. Read more
