Le Colture

Le Colture is an estate owned by the Ruggeri family in the hills above Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the finest Prosecco country. The Cartizze vineyard occupies a steep south-facing slope above the village of Santo Stefano and is widely regarded as the grand cru of the Glera grape: rounder, more complex, and with a natural sweetness from the site that sets it apart from everyday Prosecco.

Le Colture farms the estate with real attention, and the wines reflect that. If you want to understand what Prosecco can aspire to at its best, this is the producer to seek out.
