Villa Sandi

Owned and run by Giancarlo Moretti Polegato and his family, the Villa Sandi estate lies in the heart of the 1068 hectares of the Cartizze area, between the hamlets of Santo Stefano and San Pietro di Barbozza, in the municipality of Valdobbiadene. A sparkling jewel protected by the hills of the Marca Trevigiana, Villa Sandi is a Palladian style masterpiece dating back to 1622, and it is also the main office of the company.

Tasting Notes

With its very pale straw yellow colour and fine, persistent bubbles, this Prosecco offers an intensely fruity aroma, highlighted by vibrant notes of Granny Smith apples, along with an elegant floral bouquet reminiscent of acacia flowers. On the palate, it is fresh, soft, and brimming with flavour, leading to a long, fruity finish that lingers gracefully.

Food Matches

Excellent as a aperitif. A good accompaniment to fish marinated with delicate aromatic herbs, and herb-based starters.

Vinification

Whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into controlled temperature tanks where it remains until it is used for the production of the sparkling wine. The must with added yeast cultures selected by Villa Sandi is then put into vessels where fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16˚C to enhance all the harvest fragrances. Upon reaching the required alcohol and sugar content fermentation is stopped by refrigeration. After a short settling period, the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.

Press Comments

Decanter Magazine, July 2023, Prosecco panel tasting, 87 points: “Floral aromas with notes of green and stone fruit on the palate. Balanced with a creamy mousse on the finish.”
