ING// Mongarda is a family-run business founded by Bruno and Marinella in 1978. Today, the Tormena family, led by their son Martino, manages 15 hectares, 12 of which are vineyards and 3 consist of woods and arable land. The company is located in Col San Martino, right in the central area of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore. Col San Martino is a unique historical location, with steep hills that frame a breathtaking landscape; the vines climb along the natural terrain, which necessitates mostly manual labor.
The primary grape variety cultivated is Glera, along with old indigenous varieties such as Bianchetta and Verdiso. The cultivation methods are artisanal, starting with the reproduction of young plants from old vines. There are six different vineyards, each worked in a specific way to enhance their natural characteristics. No herbicides or chemical fertilizers are used in the vineyards. Cover crops and compost from biodynamic preparations have been used for years to maintain soil fertility, which, enriched with conglomerate rock, imparts great flavor to the wines.
In the winery, there is no strict recipe for vinification. Each year is different, so they rely on intuition to best translate each harvest while preserving the integrity of the grapes and the character of the land. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and after spending the winter on fine lees, secondary fermentations take place in the spring. The goal is to produce wines that are easy to drink and genuine, rich in the flavors of the hills from which they come.
