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.
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.
