F.lli Tormena

F.lli Tormena

Two brothers, Italo and Lorenzo, built up a family estate in Colbertaldo di Vidor. Their sons took on the cellar. This is what we can confirm, and what we can't.

Colbertaldo is a village in the comune of Vidor, in the province of Treviso. On Via Roma there is a family estate called Azienda Agricola F.lli Tormena. F.lli is short for fratelli, brothers, and the brothers in question are Italo and Lorenzo Tormena, who expanded the business in the early 1900s. The family traces its roots there to the early 1800s. Italo's and Lorenzo's sons, Ivan and Marco, took over the winemaking and bottling.

That is a long family line, and it deserves a proper page. So here is one, with an honest caveat up front.

A note before you go looking

When we checked on 22 October 2026, the family's website, tormenafratelli.it, returned a server error. The address the Consorzio lists, fratellitormena.it, did not respond either. The Consorzio's own card for the winery is still live. We can't tell from the outside whether that means a broken server or something more, and we won't guess. The wines below are the ones on record, from a 2012 partner profile. If you are planning a trip, phone first.

At a glance

The story

First, which Tormena. Several families with this surname make Prosecco, and the search results blur them together. F.lli Tormena of Colbertaldo di Vidor is not Mongarda, the Col San Martino winery run by Bruno and Martino Tormena, which is the one Decanter has reviewed. It is not Reggia Leone, also in Colbertaldo, and it is not Franco Tormena's Baleco. If you have seen a 94-point score attached to "Tormena", it belongs to Mongarda.

What the family has on record is a compact, traditional Valdobbiadene range, all at 11.5%. The names are local, and the styles cover the whole sweetness ladder, which is worth a minute because it runs backwards. Brut is the driest of the three. Extra Dry is sweeter than Brut. Dry is sweeter still. A Millesimato carries a vintage year. And tranquillo means still: Prosecco with no bubbles, which is what the Glera grape tastes like before anybody adds sparkle. The family describes its Prosecco as fine and elegant, with fruity and floral notes.

The surprise is the red. Alongside the Prosecco, the Tormenas make a Raboso, from the Veneto's own native red grape, at 12%. It is not what you expect from a Prosecco address, and we're always pleased when a family keeps an old local grape in the cellar.

What to drink

These are the wines on record as of 2012. We found no sugar figures and no current prices.

Valdol, Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG Millesimato Dry. A vintage wine in the Dry style, the sweetest of the three label words, and the softest bottle in the range.

Colmaor, Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG Extra Dry. The classic middle of Prosecco: rounder than a Brut, drier than a Dry.

Brut, Valdobbiadene Superiore Spumante. The driest of the sparklers.

Noghera, Valdobbiadene DOCG Tranquillo. Still Prosecco, and a rarer thing to find than the sparkling.

Raboso IGT. The red. The producer described it as "intense, spicy, well structured".

Prices: euro prices are what the winery or an Italian retailer charges, with a rough dollar figure at about $1.14 to the euro (October 2026). In the US, expect more on the shelf once shipping, the 15% tariff on EU wine, importer and distributor margins and taxes are added.

Where it fits

If you want a small family's take on the full Valdobbiadene ladder, from Dry to Brut, the Tormena range on record is exactly that, with a still wine and a red for good measure. If you want a Prosecco family you can definitely visit this season, Gemin in Valdobbiadene and Zucchetto both publish tours and booking details.

Where to buy

• US and UK: we found no importer or retailer.
• Italy: we found no shop listing we could confirm. Contact the family directly.

Visiting

In 2012 the family offered guided vineyard visits and tastings paired with local food. The Consorzio's card lists the winery under "Open to the public", but gives no hours. With the website down, phone +39 0423 987623 or email tormenafratelli@libero.it before you go.
