Notes: The grapes were allowed to dry gently in well-ventilated rooms for between five to six months, concentrating their flavours, sweetness & colour. A luscious & velvety textured dessert wine full of intense black fruit & berry notes with hints of wild herbs & spice, complemented by a beautifully balanced sweetness.

Producer Info: The family business has been handed down through the generations of the Tessari family since the early 1900s. The estate was renamed Ca’Rugate in 1986, taking its name from the volcanic hills where the vineyards are located. Now run by the fourth generation, Michele has brought with him a lively, passionate & entrepreneurial
spirit. Considerable expansion has taken place in recent years with investment in a new technologically advanced cellar & expansion into the Valpolicella area with the purchase of vineyards in the hilly zone of Montecchia di Crosara. The estate now covers 90 hectares of vineyard. Ca’Rugate has been awarded the prestigious ‘Tre Bicchieri’ award rating from Gambero Rosso multiple times, making it one of the most awarded producers in the competition & has been hailed by the New York Times as one of the “Top Five producers of High-End Soave”.
