A family secret hidden in the heart of the Valdobbiadene hills. Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene is a small village set in the vinechequered mosaic of the Prosecco hills.

Le Colture has grown wines here since the 1500s, under the guidance of the same family. In 1983, Cesare Ruggeri launched its entry into the field of sparkling wines, and today it boasts an extraordinary heritage of expertise- -know-how spread over a vast array of its own production secrets, both great and small;

a deep understanding of its entire growing area and its vineyards; and an inborn sensitivity to the health and well-being of each vineyard.
