The Vin Santo di Brognoligo - Corte Durlo IGT - Cà Rugate is a hidden treasure of the Venetian wine tradition, known for its rich and enveloping character. Produced in the renowned area of Corte Durlo, this wine stands out for its artisanal production process that follows the ancient techniques of wine-making from dried grapes.
The grapes used for this Vin Santo, primarily Trebbiano and Garganega, are left to dry for months in a fruttaio, a practice that concentrates sugars and flavors, resulting in a wine with a deep amber color and golden reflections. On the nose, the Vin Santo di Brognoligo offers a complex bouquet, where notes of honey, dried fruit such as apricot and figs, and hints of sweet spices released during aging in small oak barrels emerge.
On the palate, it is distinguished by its remarkable viscous and rich texture that delicately envelops the palate, balancing sweetness perfectly with a slight acidity. The sensations of dried fruits mix with touches of vanilla and caramel, present thanks to the long aging. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasantly sweet aftertaste that invites another sip.
Ideal as a meditation wine, the Vin Santo di Brognoligo Corte Durlo IGT by Cà Rugate is perfect to accompany desserts like almond biscuits or cantucci, but it can also be an excellent protagonist of the end of a meal, served with blue cheeses or foie gras. Its versatility and uniqueness make it a rare gem for every collector and lover of high-quality sweet wines.

Winery history
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 recognitions
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.
