Ca’ Rugate Soave Classico San Michele 2016 is crafted from 100% Garganega grapes, sourced from the volcanic soils of the Soave Classico region in Veneto, Italy. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. After harvesting, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing, and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the fresh and delicate aromas of the wine.
The aging process for this wine is relatively short, with the wine spending a few months on its lees in stainless steel tanks. This technique enhances the wine’s texture and complexity without overpowering its natural fruit and floral characteristics. The result is a wine that is both vibrant and refined, showcasing the unique terroir of the Soave Classico region.

Garganega
Garganega is a white wine grape variety primarily grown in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, where it is the main grape used in the production of Soave and Gambellara wines. It is also known as Grecanico Dorato in Sicily. Garganega wines are typically light and crisp, with flavors of lemon, almond, and sometimes a hint of spice
The grape is known for its versatility, producing both dry and sweet wines. The sweet wines, known as Recioto di Soave, are made from dried, late-harvested grapes and are rich and honeyed. Garganega’s high acidity and moderate alcohol content make it a popular choice for winemakers seeking to create balanced and aromatic wines
