The "Fulvio Beo" from Cà Rugate is a sublime expression of the Classic Method sparkling wine, produced in a prestigious 9-liter Salmanazar, ideal for grand celebration occasions. Characterized by its Extra Brut profile, this sparkling wine offers an intensely fresh and minimally sweet taste experience, with an extremely low sugar residue that accentuates the natural characteristics of the grape variety and the terroir of origin.
The grapes selected for the "Fulvio Beo" are handpicked in the early hours of the morning, to ensure the freshness and integrity of the berry. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle according to the rigorous Classic Method, which involves a maturation period on the yeast not less than 36 months. This long rest in the cellars of Cà Rugate gives the wine complexity, a fine perlage, and a creamy texture.
Visually, the "Fulvio Beo" presents a bright straw-yellow color, embellished by a very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, vibrant notes of citrus, green apple, fresh bread, and hints of almond emerge. On the palate, it is extremely balanced: the freshness of the acidity is well balanced by the structure and aromatic complexity, ending with a long and memorable persistence that invites another sip.
Perfect as an aperitif, the "Fulvio Beo" Extra Brut is also an excellent companion for light starters, raw fish, and seafood. Its elegant presentation in a Salmanazar bottle also makes it a spectacular centerpiece for any festive table.

The story
The Tessari family has been cultivating vineyards in the area for over a century; the Ca' Rugate label first appeared on bottles in 1986. In 2001 Michele Tessari, the fourth generation of the family, launched a project to reorganize the estate and expand the vineyards, and the new winery in Montecchia di Crosara was inaugurated in 2002. Over the years the estate has developed wine‑tourism activities and created a wine museum to tell the family's agricultural history.
Production philosophy
Quality that begins in the vineyard is a priority: sustainable management and low-impact practices to enhance native varieties and the expression of the terroir. Since 2004 the estate has adopted more sustainable agronomic methods and demonstrates a commitment to traceability and preserving the local character. Since 2013 it has been part of Indipendenti del Soave.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are situated on the hills of Val d'Alpone and on land well suited to Soave Classico, Valpolicella and Lessini Durello. The soils have a volcanic and calcareous‑basaltic composition typical of the Soave area; some parcels lie on ridges and terraces with steep slopes and average elevations of around 400–450 meters above sea level.
Awards and recognition
Numerous national and international awards, including several 'Tre Bicchieri' from the Gambero Rosso guide for the winery's wines, and medals/recognitions at international competitions also dedicated to mountain and heroic wines.
