Ruggero Ruggeri, a native of Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene, is a young enologist who consults with a few local wineries. In 2010 he decided to start making his own wine using the grapes from the 4 hectares of vineyard planted by his parents, until then sold to other producers of the area.

Located in the hearth of the scenic Valdobbiadene DOCG zone, the vineyards sit in steep hills, yielding much less quantity and far better quality grapes than often over-cropped sites in the plains at the bottom of the valley. The vines are all of the Glera varietal, the altitude 300 meters above sea level, the soil is a low-nutrient mixture of clay and limestone. 3000 vines per hectare.

Ruge, which takes its name from the way Ruggero is called by his friends, for now bottles very small quantities of wine, with only 700 cases of the Primario Prosecco
