WINE DESCRIPTION

Crafted in the renowned hills of Valdobbiadene, the Ruge Primario Valdobbiadene Extra Dry is a testament to meticulous winemaking in the heart of Italy's Prosecco region. Grown at altitudes ranging from 250 to 350 meters above sea level, the vineyards benefit from a diverse soil composition, including moraines, sandstone, clay, limestone, and lean, dry earth. The exclusively hand-harvested grapes, predominantly harvested between late September and early October, undergo a gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation. This sparkling wine, made using the Charmat method, matures for three months on fine lees, resulting in a delightful effervescence. With an alcohol content of 11% and 14 g/l of sugars, this Extra Dry Prosecco embodies the essence of Valdobbiadene—crisp, aromatic, and perfect for celebratory toasts.
