Description
What kind of wine it is
Giall’Oro Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry by Ruggeri is a bright and balanced sparkling wine, characterised by a fine and persistent perlage. Crafted from a meticulous blend of Glera, Verdiso and Perera grapes, it boasts a clear and elegant sensory profile. On the nose, it reveals aromas of green apple, peach and citrus, enriched by hints of acacia blossom. On the palate, it perfectly embodies the Extra Dry style, offering a soft and slender texture. The lively freshness accompanies the tasting towards a clean finish with a pleasantly continuous aromatic profile.
Where it comes from
This Prosecco Superiore originates from the hills of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, the beating heart of Veneto viticulture. The grapes are sourced from selected plots between the Montello area and the renowned Cartizze vineyards, including the historic vines of San Pietro di Barbozza and Saccol. The combination of these different territorial expressions gives the wine a distinctive character, ensuring finesse and aromatic clarity. The connection with the land reflects the dedication of Ruggeri, a winery that enhances the unique features of this winegrowing ecosystem.
How it is produced
Harvesting takes place between mid-September and early October, at the point of perfect grape ripeness. The grapes undergo a gentle pressing and white vinification at controlled temperature, without skin contact. The sparkling process is carried out using the Charmat method in large closed tanks. This slow refermentation lasts from one to three months, allowing the natural creation of the delicate effervescence, followed by resting and subsequent bottling, necessary to achieve the wine’s full expression.

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
