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. The Villa rises from a fertile countryside in which fields and farms, nowadays as well as in the past, pay homage to the local history. The diverse soils of this area of Italy enable Villa Sandi to produce a wonderful array of Proseccos and high quality still red and white wines.

A sparkling organic brut wine produced in the DOC region. The vineyards are located within the Prosecco DOC area, cultivated in medium to alluvials soils, under organic viticulture. The wine is very pale straw yellow in colour with fine and persistent perlage. The aroma is f;ruity and flowery with hints of ripe golden apple and small mountain flowers. The dry, soft and flavoursome sensation on the palate is followed by a fruity and harmonious aftertaste.

Excellent as an aperitif, or serve as a perfect accompaniment to shellfish or fried fish.

The vineyards are located within the Prosecco DOC area. The whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into temperature controlled tanks where it remains until it is used for the production of the sparkling wine. Secondary fermentation: Added with yeast cultures selected by Villa Sandi, the must 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. The refermentation is carried out in such a way as to preserve all the aromatic heritage and develop floral and fruity aromas, typical of the variety and the territory.
