Producer's description
Corte Rugolin is located in the heart of the Valpolicella region. It is located on the territory of the old estate, whose history can be traced back to the 1600s, now converted into a winery. The farm is located in an ideal microclimate, thanks to its advantageous location between the Lessini Mountains, the plains and Lake Garda.
Corte Rugolin’s activities are based on preserved winemaking traditions handed down from generation to generation. In 1998, the reins passed to the twins, Elena and Federico Coati. Prior to this, the farm was managed by their father, Bruno, before him — their grandfather, Giuseppe, and before that — their great-grandfather, Fortunato, and great-great-grandfather, Giuseppe. Thanks to the efforts of Elena and Federico, Korte Rugolin became a stronghold, combining past and future, history, traditions and innovations.
