Ruggeri Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Quartese Brut

Ruggeri Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Quartese Brut is a refined expression of top-quality Prosecco from the steep hills of Valdobbiadene in Veneto. Crafted from Glera grapes grown in some of the most prized vineyards in the region, it combines freshness, finesse and a fine, persistent mousse. Classified as Prosecco Superiore DOCG, Quartese stands apart from everyday Prosecco with its heightened elegance, concentration and sense of place.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Prosecco shows a bright, pale straw-yellow color with greenish reflections and a very fine, persistent perlage. The bubbles form a delicate crown, hinting at the wine’s careful secondary fermentation and long maturation on lees. On the nose, it is immediately inviting, with aromas of fresh pear, green apple and white peach, layered with acacia blossom, wisteria and a touch of citrus zest. Subtle notes of almond, fresh herbs and minerality add complexity. The palate is dry and brisk (Brut style), yet generous in fruit, offering crisp orchard fruit, lemon and lime, and a hint of ripe melon. The mousse is creamy and delicate, giving the wine a silky texture while the lively acidity keeps everything wonderfully refreshing. The finish is clean, slightly saline and gently floral, making it highly moreish. While intended to be enjoyed in its youth for maximum freshness and aromatic intensity, this wine can comfortably age for 2–3 years, gaining a softer, more rounded mouthfeel and a slightly more pronounced biscuit and honeyed note.

Production
The Glera grapes for Ruggeri’s Quartese Brut come primarily from the hills around Valdobbiadene, one of the historic and most prestigious zones for Prosecco, now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Steep, well-exposed slopes, poor rocky soils and a cool yet sunny microclimate help produce grapes with high natural acidity and intense aromatics. Harvest is typically carried out by hand to ensure that only the healthiest bunches are selected and that the delicate berries arrive intact at the winery. After gentle pressing, the base wines are fermented at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the pure, floral fruit character. The second fermentation takes place using the Martinotti/Charmat method in pressurized tanks, where the wine slowly develops its fine bubbles and texture before being cooled, filtered and bottled Brut, with a carefully judged dosage to balance crispness and approachability.

Food & Serving
This Prosecco Superiore is a natural choice as an aperitif, pairing beautifully with light canapés, prosciutto and melon, marinated olives and fresh cheeses such as mozzarella or burrata. It also works wonderfully with seafood—think oysters, shrimp cocktails, sushi, tempura, grilled prawns or delicate fish dishes—as well as vegetable-based plates like risottos, asparagus, light salads and vegetable tempura. Serve well-chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to concentrate the aromas. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour gently, allowing a few minutes in the glass for the bouquet to fully unfold.
