2022 Soave Classico 'Monte Fiorentine', Ca'Rugate
Soave, Veneto, Italy
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”.
Rich and golden in colour, a wonderful example of a Soave Classico, with the beautiful layering of exotic, tropical fruits and a touch of minerality. Full and rich in flavour, this is a structured wine with a fresh, mineral finish.
The fruit for this wine comes from the six-hectare Monte Fiorentine vineyard in Brognoligo di Monteforte d’Alpone. The volcanic origin of the land results in limestone and basalt characteristics, in which the Garganega grapes flourish.

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 with him a lively, passionate and entrepreneurial spirit. Considerable expansion has taken place in recent years with investment in a new technologically advanced cellar and expansion into the Valpolicella area with the purchase of 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”.
The grapes were carefully sorted. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at temperatures of between 16 to 18°C for 10 to 15 days, maintaining the freshness and aromatic qualities of the Garganega variety.
