The Ruggeri winery was founded in 1950 by Giustino Bisol , whose family boasts a centuries-old tradition and deep roots in the wine-growing culture of the Valdobbiadene area.
This elegant Prosecco Brut Rosé DOC “Argeo” by Ruggeri comes from a prevalence of Glera grapes combined with a lower percentage of Pinot Noir. The two varieties are vinified separately: glera in white, while pinot noir ferments in contact with the skins. Once the assembly is complete, the wine is placed in an autoclave for the second fermentation, in accordance with the Martinotti or Charmat method, where it remains in contact with the noble lees for at least 2 months.
Dedicated to Giustino Bisol, who founded the winery in 1950, this sparkling wine is the fruit of extensive trials and experiments with particular selections and techniques, from the vines to the bottle. The Giustino B. therefore embodies the living expression of the experience and determination in the search for the very best and of the passionate dedication to the grape itself (traditionally called Prosecco).
Giustino B. is receiving constantly the Tre Bicchieri del Gambero Rosso at every vintage, making the Ruggeri winery the only one in the world of Prosecco to be awarded the prestigious star award from Gambero Rosso.
A few kilometers east of the town of Valdobbiadene lies the hamlet of San Pietro di Barbozza, also known as Cartizze. A stunning location, a hillside covered in vineyards considered the heart of the appellation. It is here that the Glera grape reaches its peak ripeness, producing deep and nuanced wines. From these vineyards comes the Brut di Ruggeri, a wine whose natural smoothness meets unexpected freshness in a context of great flavor definition, perfect for opening a fine dinner, pairing appetizers and fish dishes.
Inspired by the daring character of the legendary outlaw who roamed the Sierra foothills of California during the Gold Rush days in search of riches. This wine boasts immense structure worthy of Jack’s name.
Lodi lies between the San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with a classic Mediterranean-like climate featuring warm days and cool evenings.

The story of the Viberti winery begins when Cavalier Antonio Viberti buys the Locanda del Buon Padre. It was the year 1923 when Antonio began to produce wine for the guests of his Locanda in the basement of the Buon Padre.
This wine is only made with Nebbiolo grapes from the single vineyard Bricco delle Viole, planted in 1964. Produced exclusively in particular years, only if considered suitable for the long again of the Riserva version, this wine has characteristics of marked minerality, freshness and evident balsamic notes.
Historical label of the Viberti family, it represents the essence of Barolo in its most classical and traditional expression. Born in 1923 by Cavalier Antonio Viberti, the wine was marketed under the name of the family restaurant: Il Buon Padre. Served exclusively on the tables of the inn, shortly after the end of the Second World War, Antonio began selling to the patrons and customers of the inn itself. Born from the union of Nebbiolo grapes from the vineyards of La Volta and Bricco delle Viole, today this label at a distance of almost a century, is the result of the skillful assemblage of 8 different crus, included between the municipalities of Barolo, Monforte d’Alba and Verduno. The grapes of different origins are harvested and vinified separately. The wines produced are aged in vats and barrels of French and Slavonian oak, which are not roasted exclusively; then the various wines are assembled and a few weeks after bottling. The style is characterized by a fresh acidity that comes from the highest vineyards, extremely traditional aromas and an impressive structure, but with soft and elegant tannins.
