The Soave Classico "San Michele" DOC from Cà Rugate winery is a white wine that perfectly embodies the Veronese wine-making tradition, offering a rich and intensely pleasurable tasting experience. This wine is produced in the heart of the Soave Classico zone, an area renowned for its volcanic soils which impart a unique minerality to the wines.
"San Michele" is primarily made from the Garganega grape variety, which is cultivated using sustainable methods to preserve the authenticity and purity of the fruit. The vinification involves a gentle fermentation at controlled temperatures, followed by a brief aging period in stainless steel to preserve all the aromatic nuances of the grape variety.
Visually, the wine displays a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose, it presents an intriguing and complex aromatic bouquet, with notes of white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruits like peach, and a slight hint of fresh almond. On the palate, "San Michele" reveals extraordinary freshness and balanced acidity that blend harmoniously with a medium body and persistent minerality. The aftertaste offers delicate touches of medlar and citrus, inviting another sip.
This Soave Classico pairs beautifully with delicate fish dishes, vegetarian plates like summer salads, or as an aperitif. It is also an excellent companion for lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
Perfect for those seeking both freshness and a certain aromatic complexity in a white wine, Cà Rugate's "San Michele" represents an excellent choice for expanding one's cellar with an emblematic example of Soave Classico.

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.
