The ‘Ladaltempo’ Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut from the Ruggeri winery is a captivating Prosecco from Conegliano-Valdobbiadene that ranks at the top quality levels of the denomination due to its wonderful drinkability and considerable expressive breadth. It is the most prestigious label of the estate, produced exclusively in exceptional vintages through a skillful blend of selected local grapes from the best owned parcels. The refermentation takes place using the long Charmat Method, which involves a prolonged stay of the wine on the yeasts in autoclave, usually lasting between 9 and 15 months. However, in the case of this Prosecco, produced for the very first time with the 2017 vintage, the sur lie aging has lasted for as long as 60 months, a rarity for this type. The name of the bottle expresses its intimate connection with time, a fundamental factor in determining the quality and character of this Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore.
Ruggeri ‘Ladaltempo’ Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore consists of a solid base of Glera, to which 15% of other traditional white grapes from the area is added. After the harvest, the grapes are vinified in white through soft pressing and alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, containers in which the mass remains to mature for a few months. The subsequent sparkling process takes place in small autoclaves at controlled temperature in a slow and gradual manner, with as much as 60 months of aging on the yeasts before the final bottling.
The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut ‘Ladaltempo’ by Ruggeri is a bright straw yellow color with greenish hues. The aromatic bouquet expresses intriguing sensations of white peach, citrus peel, and figs, combined with hints of jasmine, chamomile, and green tea. Fresh and refined on the palate, very balanced, with a pleasantly savory and citrusy finish.
