Le Colture

On the steep hillsides above Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene, where UNESCO-listed terraced vineyards climb toward the pre-Alpine sky, the Ruggeri family has been growing Glera grapes for centuries. Le Colture is their commercial expression of that heritage, built with care since 1983 into one of the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene zone's most respected estates.

The family's viticultural roots in Valdobbiadene trace to the 1500s. The modern winery was formally established in 1983 by Cesare Ruggeri, who set out to produce sparkling wine from the Glera grapes his father Gerardo had long cultivated. Starting from the 1990s, Cesare progressively acquired additional parcels to achieve a complete, self-sufficient production chain. Today, Cesare's three children, Silvia, Alberto, and Veronica, drive the estate forward with renewed international vision.
