Ca'Rugate Monte Fiorentine Soave Classico 2023

The fruit for this wine comes from the six-hectare Monte Fiorentine vineyard in Brognoligo di Monteforte d'Alpone. The land's volcanic origin results in limestone and basalt characteristics, in which the Garganega grapes flourish. The vines yield, on average, 90 to 100 quintals per hectare and are harvested when the grapes have reached optimum maturity at the end of September.

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 a lively, passionate, entrepreneurial spirit. Considerable expansion has occurred in recent years with investment in a new technologically advanced cellar and expansion into the Valpolicella area by purchasing 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 and has been hailed by the New York Times as one of the "Top Five producers of High-End Soave".
