Michele Tessari

The Path

Ownership of Ca' Rugate sits with Michele Tessari, whose role is tied to the Verona winery’s defined range rather than any personal mythology.

The Work Today

Scale is part of the brief at Ca' Rugate: Michele Tessari describes an estate with 90 hectares of its own vineyards, working from territory-first roots while keeping the production line open to innovation. The house position is explicit — respect for tradition, with an international outlook.

Signature

Michele Tessari's named wines include Monte Alto Soave Classico, Amarone, Studio wine, Amedeo Lessini Durello Riserva, and Monte Fiorentine Soave Classico.

In Their Words “Today Ca' Rugate is a company rooted in the territory but with an international outlook, with 90 hectares of its own vineyards and a production that knows how to respect tradition and embrace innovation.” “For more than a hundred years, my family has been carrying out the winemaking activity that has made our labels famous.”

Acclaim

Recognition here is carried by the labels themselves: Michele Tessari points to family wines built on more than a hundred years of winemaking activity, an estate with its own vineyards.
