Ruttars – fortified village between wine and cultural heritage

Ruttars combines history, wine and regional cultural attractions into a destination with clear, distinct focal points. At the centre is Centa di Ruttars with the Marquardo Tower: the ensemble is classified as a fortified village of regional cultural heritage, and its architectural history extends from the 12th to the 18th century.

Fortified village history and churchyard views

The old fortifications are particularly vivid at the Church of San Vito e Modesto. The church is enclosed within the walls of Ruttars' old fortified village. Depending on the light, its churchyard offers changing views of the landscape. In addition to the architecture, this gives the perception of the landscape its own significance, with the impression of the view changing as the light shifts.

Vineyards, tastings and cellar tours

In the southern part of Ruttàrs lies the Pascolo Alessandro agricultural enterprise. Visits include walks through the vineyards; during the warmer months, tastings take place in a garden overlooking them. The offering also includes tours of the historic cellar as well as the production and ageing cellar. Pascolo Alessandro produces, among others, the Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon wines. Ruttars' connection with wine thus extends from the landscape and cellars to specific wine varieties.
