About the winery
"Let's try to make wine and not just drink it!"
Ongaresca is a new wine project born from a passion of entrepreneurship and wine. The vineyards are located in the beautiful hills of the Costabissara region in Veneto. The owners are great horse lovers and that is also where the logo was born from; the horseshoe of a horse. Currently, Devinita imports only one wine from Ongaresca: the Sauvignon Blanc. Paolo Creazzi, the winemaker of our other winery Cà Dei Maghi recommended this wine to us. It has been made for several years by Paolo's longtime assistant winemaker.
FRIENDS
A story born from the passion of two old friends for horses! Since 1985, Sergio Traverso & Lorenzo Sinico have been in the habit of organizing culinary dinners after a long day at work, where food and wine were the main goal. On the hills surrounding the stables, they saw abandoned vineyards for years. In 2006, after years of hard work, they finally gathered enough money to buy those vineyards.
They looked each other in the eye and said, "let's try to make wine and not just drink it!" They began restoring vineyards that had been abandoned for years and had been exhibited in the past for quantity and not quality. Like adopted daughters, they began a long process of re-education with love and care.
And with success: The climate and morning and evening breezes keep the vineyards healthy, which is why they use less than half of the allowed treatments and are in the biological conversion process.
PHILOSOPHY
"The distinctive characteristics of each of us are marked in our DNA.
Passion, tradition and innovation are ours. Expressing this passion through each harvest and each glass of wine is an opportunity to transmit to you the typical characteristics of our land. We do this by constantly maintaining the balance between respect for the territory and innovation.
This is the only way our strong and deep roots allow us to look to the future and continue to communicate with all lovers of goodness and pleasure, evolution and love: The main ingredients of our wines. Our attention to detail is the sublimation of the pleasure of tasting a truly unique wine, where each sip allows the palate to rediscover flavors linked to ancient traditions. But also with new research experiences. Because history is also in motion and Ongaresca moves with it. Time does not stand still and we know how to move with the times, which is what sets us apart."
Today Ongaresca strives to grow in national and international markets by investing in the uniqueness of its wines, typical of the Veneto region.
