Mongarda - Glera Frizzante 'Col Fondo' Colli Trevigiani IGT (2022)

About this Wine

The Mongarda story began in 1978, when Bruno Tormena decided to dedicate himself full-time to the career of vignaiolo. As a youngster he learned the art of vine cultivation while working with his grandfather in family vineyards in the locality of Mongarda, from which the estate takes its name. Bruno transmitted his passion to his son, Martino, who has run the estate since 2011. Martino is a recent graduate of the enology school in Conegliano and he has intensified his family’s commitment to their land and the quality of their wines.

"Most Proseccos are highly processed wines, made in vast quantities, often a bit sweet and immediately forgettable. This dry, savory, delightful wine is not called a Prosecco, but that’s essentially what it is, if a Prosecco were made of conscientiously farmed grapes carefully vinified. Unlike most Proseccos, which are carbonated in big pressurized tanks, this received a second, bubbles-inducing fermentation in the bottle, which can produce finer, more distinctive wines." - Eric Asimov, New York Times

"Lightly cloudy with a gentle spritz, includes notes of Williams pear, Golden apple accompanied by chamomile and citrus with the wine maturation, dark yellow color, a wine of character, very rich (also due to the lees), complex, completely dry (not dosed), delicate bubbles." - Winemaker's Notes

"Citrus, Alpine herb and green-apple aromas carry through to the vibrant linear palate along with lemon zest, Anjou pear and a yeasty hint of bread crust. It's extremely refreshing, with crisp acidity a dry finish." - 91 points, Wine Enthusiast

The perfect Aperitif or a toast with friends, also goes well with Sushi, Shellfish, Crab, Lobster, White Fish, and Mild & Soft Cheeses.
