LA TORDERA

Our winery was founded in the hills of Valdobbiadene, the heart of the Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG production area, between Venice and the Dolomites.

Always on the lookout for innovation, but never forgetting our bond with our land and its traditions, and respecting this little piece of paradise and its fruits, our winery prefers an ever more “green” approach to its winemaking, in harmony with the environment, looking back to the past and forward to the future.

The name of our wine comes from a rolling hill in the Cartizze area. In ancient times, this hill was home to a bird snare called Tordera; in fact, in autumn, thrushes flew from the nearby mountains looking for food among the rows of vines. Thanks to this tradition, this high ground started being called Tordera. Although the snare no longer exists, the name has remained in the collective memory.

This is where the roots of our family and our winery started to grow, this is where La Tordera began.
