Description
What kind of wine it is
This cuvée by Ruggeri is a refined Quality Sparkling Wine that fully expresses the vocation of the Veneto region. An intriguing blend that skilfully combines Chardonnay, Glera and Pinot Bianco, offering a soft and aromatic profile. In the glass, it displays a crystalline straw yellow colour, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. On the palate, it is fresh and enveloping, with a pleasantly savoury finish and a remarkable propensity to evolve over time.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown on the Treviso hills, located right at the foot of the Dolomitic foothills. This specific microclimate gives the bunches excellent freshness and a pronounced aromatic definition. The harvest takes place in September following precise rhythms: the first half of the month is dedicated to Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay, while the second is reserved for Glera. This careful timing allows the fruit to be picked at the perfect stage of ripeness, preserving the necessary acidity.
How it is produced
Vinification is carried out in white at a controlled temperature, keeping the purity of the aromas intact. The prise de mousse follows the Charmat Method, through a slow refermentation in large closed vessels. This process enhances the notes of golden apple and peach, enriched by hints of acacia flowers and light nuances of orange. Ideal when served chilled, this sparkling wine pairs beautifully with classic Venetian cicchetti, cheese boards and delicate white fish dishes.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1950, the Venetian winery Ruggeri signs the Cuvée Morbin, an elegant VSQ sparkling wine born among the Treviso hills, at the foot of the Dolomites. Here, oenologist Fabio Roversi harmonises Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Glera grapes, harvested in September and enhanced by the slow sparkling process of the Charmat Method. This process gives the wine a fine and persistent perlage. In the 1.5 L Magnum format, this sparkling wine is ideal for accompanying Venetian cicchetti and toasts in good company.

Ruggeri’s roots stretch far back to the nineteenth century, to Eliseo Bisol, who, along with his son Luigi was one of the first winemakers in Valdobbiadene. The business’s significant growth began in 1950 when Giustino Bisol founded the current winery with his cousin, and it was his surname, Ruggeri, that was chosen as the company name. The unswerving commitment to excellence continued with the work of Giustino’s son, Paolo, and granddaughter Isabella.
Since 2017, Ruggeri has been part of the Rotkäppchen-Mumm Group, a highly fruitful partnership which has paired our shared visions, trust in common values and a mutual commitment to ever higher quality standards. Read more
