Ruggeri Prosecco Argeo Brut

Ruggeri Prosecco Argeo Brut is a vibrant, finely crafted sparkling wine from the heart of Italy’s Prosecco region in Veneto. Made from 100% Glera, it captures the classic freshness, elegance and easy-drinking charm that have made Prosecco a worldwide favorite. This non‑vintage cuvée blends fruit from selected vineyards to deliver consistent quality and a beautifully balanced style year after year.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Argeo Brut shows a pale straw-yellow color with glints of green and a fine, persistent mousse. The bubbles are delicate yet energetic, forming a lively perlage that enhances both aroma and texture. The nose opens with fresh green apple, pear and lemon zest, followed by white peach, acacia blossom and a light hint of bread dough from its time on lees. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with bright citrus and orchard fruit at the core, framed by subtle floral notes and a clean mineral edge. The dosage is kept in check, so the wine feels dry, linear and precise rather than sweet, finishing with a pleasantly zesty, saline lift. Best enjoyed within 1–2 years of purchase to capture its youthful vibrancy and primary fruit.

Production
Ruggeri sources grapes for Argeo Brut from prime Glera vineyards in the hilly zones of Veneto, particularly around Valdobbiadene, where the combination of steep slopes, good drainage, cool nights and mineral-rich soils lends finesse and aromatic intensity. Harvest is typically carried out by hand to ensure that only healthy, perfectly ripe bunches are selected and that the delicate grapes arrive intact at the winery. After a gentle pressing, the must is fermented at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel to preserve fresh aromatics. The second fermentation takes place using the Charmat (tank) method, where the wine develops its fine bubbles in pressurized stainless-steel tanks before being cooled, filtered and bottled under pressure, resulting in a clean, fruit-forward and consistently high-quality Prosecco.

Food & Serving
Ruggeri Prosecco Argeo Brut is a natural choice as an aperitif, pairing beautifully with light canapés, fresh seafood, sushi, tempura, oysters, and classic Italian antipasti such as prosciutto, melon and mild cheeses. It also works well with simple vegetable dishes, salads, lightly spiced Asian cuisine and delicate fish or shellfish pastas. Serve well-chilled at about 6–8°C (43–46°F) in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to focus its aromas. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, giving the wine a few moments in the glass to let the aromatics fully unfold.
