Ca' Rugate Azienda Agricola

Winery in Valpolicella, Amarone, Soave, Lessini Mountains

About the Winery

Ca' Rugate is a historic winery located in the Veneto region, producing wines that authentically express the essence of the land from which they originate: the renowned areas of Soave Classico, Valpolicella, and Lessini Durello. For over 100 years, the Tessari family, now in its fourth generation, has been dedicated to crafting exceptional wines that honor the rich traditions of their territory while embracing innovation. The name "Ca' Rugate" comes from the dark, volcanic soil of the Rugate hill near Brognoligo, where the family's winemaking journey began. The estate's deep connection to this land, coupled with their commitment to sustainability and quality, makes Ca' Rugate a unique destination for wine lovers looking to experience the true flavors of Veneto.

About the Wines

Ca' Rugate is known for producing wines of great character and distinction, rooted in the native grape varieties of the Veneto region. The family's 90 hectares of vineyards span the prized areas of Soave Classico, Valpolicella, and Lessini Durello, with each wine reflecting the unique terroir of these locations. The volcanic soil, careful vineyard management, and low-yield practices result in wines with exceptional structure and depth. From the crisp minerality of their Soave Classico to the bold and complex red wines of Valpolicella and the refreshing sparkle of Lessini Durello, Ca' Rugate’s wines are a testament to the family's dedication to both tradition and innovation. Each bottle tells the story of the land and the Tessari family's unwavering commitment to quality winemaking.

Experience at Ca' Rugate
The winery tour and the subsequent tasting were splendid! Thanks to Anna, the wonderful guide who explained every detail to us joyfully and passionately.
The Ca' Rugate wines are delicious, the platter of cold cuts and cured meats is also excellent, the final treat: the chocolates filled with their wine!

Great winery tour and tasting
Very interesting tour through the winery and museum with lots of old tools. For the tasting we had three white wines, two red wines, the Amarone is wonderful and a Wermut which has 80% Amarone, incredibly tasty. Our tour guide was very nice and knew a lot about the wines and how they are made.

Fantastic
A wonderful winery with a wide variety of wines. The tour given by Giorgia was technical as well as educational, she answered all our questions and during the tasting she explained in detail the wines we tried and suggested others suited to our tastes. We bought some wines that they are going to send to our country.
A highly recommended experience, if we have the occasion to return to this area on a trip, we will do it again.
