{"title":"Ruge","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the steep, UNESCO-listed hillsides above Valdobbiadene, Ruge is a family project built on a single conviction: the earth has a soul and a voice that must be listened to and respected. Brothers Ruggero and Andrea Ruggeri are the latest generation in a lineage that has farmed these slopes for over a century, and their Prosecco Superiore is among the most honest and characterful in the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ruggeri family of Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene, distinct from and unrelated to the larger Ruggeri Valdobbiadene winery, has cultivated vines on the Col Funer hillside for generations. Agostino Ruggeri, the family patriarch, first established the family's connection to this particular land. His descendants continued through to Vittore, who passed the estate and its traditions to his sons Ruggero and Andrea. In 2010, Ruggero decided to step back from supplying grapes to the cooperative system and to begin making the family's own wines. The first bottles reached market in 2011 under the Ruge label, and the project has grown steadily since, earning recognition for its site-specific approach to a category often criticised for industrial uniformity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/ruge\"\u003eRuge producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ruge-primario-prosecco-organic-wine","title":"Ruge Primario Prosecco Sparkling NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eRuge Primario Prosecco Sparkling NV is an organically farmed Extra Dry sparkling wine produced by Azienda Agricola Ruge, a family estate on Col Funer hill in Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG Valdobbiadene zone in Veneto, Italy.
