Description
What kind of wine it is
Ruggeri Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Salter Extra Brut is a sparkling wine that enhances the qualities of pure Glera. In the glass, it displays a pale straw yellow colour, crossed by bright greenish reflections and a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic profile opens with delicate floral nuances, followed by notes of crisp green apple and Williams pear, enriched by a subtle hint of bread crust. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and lively, offering a balanced sip that leads to a long and pleasantly dry finish. It is also an ideal choice for those following a vegan diet.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates from the renowned hills of Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the Veneto region. The Ruggeri brand precisely interprets the characteristics of these hills, which have always been a benchmark for excellent viticulture. The vineyards benefit from an ideal microclimate that imparts tension and elegance to the grapes. The deep care for this hilly landscape allows for the production of a Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore with an authentic and vibrant character, a true expression of its place of origin.
How it is produced
After the September harvest, the grapes are pressed for white vinification at a controlled temperature. The sparkling process takes place using the Charmat method, through a slow refermentation in large closed tanks. This meticulous process preserves the aromatic liveliness and gives the wine a soft and compact mousse. Characterised by a low residual sugar content, this sip pairs beautifully with aperitifs, fried seafood, shellfish and sushi. Its freshness also creates a harmonious combination with delicate vegetables, white meats and spicy dishes.
History and Curiosities
With roots dating back to the nineteenth century, the company produces Ruggeri Salter Extra Brut among the most prized hills of the DOCG Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area. This elegant vegan sparkling wine is born from a meticulous September harvest, crafted under the expert guidance of oenologist Fabio Roversi. The secondary fermentation follows the Charmat method, with a slow re-fermentation in autoclave at 14-15 °C to preserve its freshness intact. Awarded by prestigious organisations such as Falstaff and Decanter, this wine represents the essence of authentic Venetian tradition.

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
