The Valpolicella Rio Albo DOC was produced at the Italian winery Ca' Rugate. Here, a history spanning more than 100 years comes to life—a history that has been inextricably linked to the Tessari family and the dark, volcanic soil of the Rugate hill for four generations. Three grape varieties—Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella—were blended into this dry red wine, with the finest grapes sourced from various vineyards in the hilly landscape of Montecchia di Crosara. The soils in this area are calcareous and rich in gravel.
During vinification, fermentation takes place on the skins for 7–10 days, followed by aging in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
The Ca’ Rugate Valpolicella Rio Albo DOC displays a ruby-red color. Its bouquet is characterized by intense and persistent aromas reminiscent of blackberry and cherry. On the palate, this fruity red wine is soft, slightly tannic, and full of flavor.
These flavors unfold best when served at a temperature of 14–6 °C. This Valpolicella pairs excellently with white meat and particularly dry cheeses. It is also well-suited as an aperitif.
