Ruggeri

Our story is deeply rooted in the winemaking tradition of Valdobbiadene, as evidenced by the ancient toponym “Case Bisoi” (the houses of Bisol), marked in historical maps at the heart of the Cartizze area. In the late 19th century, Eliseo Bisol owned a small winery in Santo Stefano, and his son Luigi, one of the first enologists in Valdobbiadene, built a winery in Montebelluna around 1920. In 1950, Giustino Bisol founded the new company with his cousin, whose surname was chosen as the brand for their business. From the very beginning, Ruggeri was one of the few wineries in Valdobbiadene dedicated to producing sparkling wine. Today, Giustino's legacy continues through the work of his son Paolo and granddaughter Isabella.

Like our vines, we are driven by a desire to grow and innovate, constantly exploring new possibilities within our territory. Our strong connection to tradition, combined with the expertise passed down through generations, grants us the freedom to experiment and take new paths. Ruggeri was the first winery to produce a sparkling wine exclusively from the grapes of century-old vines (Vecchie Viti) and the first in our denomination to craft an Extra Brut spumante, anticipating regulatory guidelines. With Cinqueanni, we pioneered a unique approach in the entire Prosecco Superiore territory, allowing the wine to rest for 48 months in the protective embrace of the autoclave, nurturing the intimate contact between the wine and the yeasts. Our exploration continues, embodying the spirit of innovation that is at the core of our identity.

At Ruggeri, tradition and innovation come together to create exceptional wines that express the full potential of Valdobbiadene's unique terroir. Our sparkling wines are crafted from grapes that are deeply tied to the land, including those from century-old vines, which lend extraordinary character and complexity to our Vecchie Viti spumante. We were also the first to introduce an Extra Brut spumante in our denomination, showcasing the region’s versatility in producing elegant, dry wines.

Cinqueanni, one of our most ambitious projects, embodies our forward-thinking approach. Aged for 48 months on its lees in an autoclave, this Prosecco Superiore reveals a depth and richness that sets it apart. Our wines consistently reflect the marriage of centuries-old winemaking expertise and modern innovation, always with the goal of pushing boundaries and discovering new paths in the world of sparkling wine. We are committed to continuing this journey, with new projects always on the horizon, driven by a spirit of exploration and a deep respect for our heritage.
