Ruggeri - Ruggeri Wine

The Ruggeri winery was established in 1950 by Giustino Bisol, whose family boasts a deeply rooted, centuries-old tradition in viticulture in the Valdobbiadene area.

The place-name “Case Bisoi” (the Houses of the Bisols) is to be found on the oldest maps of the area, in the heart of the area now known as Cartizze and once called “Chartice” or “Gardizze”. Historical documents have revealed that the Bisol family has been cultivating vines since 1542.

In the 1800's, Eliseo Bisol left further documentary evidence of his activity as a distiller. Around 1920, his son Luigi Bisol, an oenologist, built a winery in Montebelluna. In 1950, Luigi’s son Giustino Bisol established the Ruggeri winery in S. Stefano di Valdobbiadene. In 1993, the winery was relocated to larger and ergonomically-designed premise.

The Vines & Harvest

The Prosecco DOC grapes are supplied by over 120 vine-growers, more than 100 of them having their vineyards in the municipality of Valdobbiadene, while 30 also grow Cartizze grapes. Many of the superior vineyards lie in the historic districts of S.Pietro di Barbozza, Santo Stefano and Saccol. These areas have always been renowned for producing the best quality grapes.

Ruggeri owns a small vineyard in Cartizze and 16 hectares on the nearby Montello, nine of which are cultivated with Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Merlot vines. Approximately one hectare is dedicated to recovering old soily vine species, working together with the Istituto Sperimentale per la Viticoltura di Conegliano (School of Viticulture at Conegliano).

The Ruggeri winery is well equipped to cope with the considerable harvest; it has two fully independent lines for processing the grapes and 5 ‘soft’ presses, which ensures separation of the various vineyard harvests at the busiest times.

Harvesting methods have hardly changed in 20 years and Ruggeri today produces around one million bottles a year, 70% of which are distributed in Italy and the remainder to 20 other countries.

Valdobbiadene

The Prosecco D.O.C. (Controlled Denomination of Origin) grape is grown in the northern part of the Marca Trevigiana, in a zone extending from Colle Umberto to Valdobbiadene, the ancient zone of Valduplavensis, “...where the vine blossoms eternally...” (St.Venantius Fortunatus 535-603 AD). Valdobbiadene is indisputably one of the most interesting vine-growing areas in terms of quality and indeed its vineyards have always produced the most prestigious and fragrant Prosecco.

The presence of many old and sometimes very old vines contributes to the high quality of the Valdobbiadene vineyards. Thanks to a considerable root system, an old Prosecco vine will be suitably acclimatised to the varied weather system so typical of the Valdobbiadene hills.

The Prosecco grape cluster is elongated and lightly grouped with long thin stalks, just as delicate and elegant as the wine it produces. It is harvested in late October, together with small quantities of the Verdisa and Perera grape which are equally represented in the vineyard and are important for their acidity and aroma.
