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.

Tasting Notes

An intensely fruity aroma with hints of ripe golden apple and a flowery note reminiscent of acacia flowers. The palate is fresh and soft to the palate with pear and apple notes and an agreeably fruity and harmonious finish.

Vinification

Villa Sandi pride themselves on gorwing some of the best Glera grapes used for Prosecco - they are picked by a combination of machine and hand depending on the vineyard, and the grapes taken to their state of the art winery where the grapes are pressed, and the juice transferred into tanks for the first fermentation in steel temperature controlled conditions. The first ferment produces a naturally fruity yet crisp light wine, which is then transferred under pressure into a second tank where the wine is inocculated with yeast and sugar to start a secondary alcoholic fermentation - after which the now sparkling yet cloudy wine is transferred under pressure into a third tank for filtering and clarification, before transfer to another holding area ready for batch bottling. This is the unique 'Charmat,' or Tank method - where the wine is transferred through a series of stages, each designed to produce a top quality sparkling wine.
