A PERFECT TERRITORY, INTRINSICALLY LINKED TO THE PRODUCTION OF WINE
Corte Rugolin has its headquarters in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, a diverse and rich territory located North of Verona and nestled between Lake Garda and the Lessini mountains. The combination of the breeze coming from the lake and the fresh air of the mountains has always created the optimal conditions for cultivating top-quality grapes.
Nowadays, like in the past, the hilly landscape of Valpolicella is dominated by the outlines of the vineyards. Among these is Rugolin's 13-hectares estate, spread out in the five municipalities of the Valpolicella Classica.
Specifically, Corte Rugolin has three cru: Conca d’oro, which includes vineyards that are nearly 35 years old, is located on the hills of San Giorgio, in the municipality of Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella; Chevalier, with vineyards that are approximately 25 years old, located on the hills of Valgatara, in the municipality of Marano di Valpolicella; and lastly, Monte Danieli, with vines that are approximately 50 years old, located on the hills of Castelrotto, in San Pietro in Cariano.
In the last few years, the company has started to renew the vineyards, choosing native varieties that were being lost and focusing on reducing the quantity of clusters of grapes that are being produced, in order to increase quality.
OUR COMMITMENT:
WORKING WITH NATURE
Nature is not just the background to our lives. Nature is the air we breathe, the food we eat, the fountain of our wellbeing. That's why Corte Rugolin's commitment is to reduce the impact of our activity, both towards nature and towards people. Our wines are obtained by grapes cultivated following practices of organic management: we work with nature, rather than against it, promoting the biodiversity of our vineyards, looking to transform them into a self-regulating ecosystem able to fight problems by itself, thus reducing the need for artificial chemical products.
In fact, we have achieved the organic certification starting with the 2023 harvest, after a long period of conversion phase.
Our respect for the environment goes hand in hand with our safeguarding of the health and safety of those who work in the vineyard, those who live in these predominantly winemaking areas and of the ever-increasing number of wine-loving tourists that come to visit our production area.
