Villa Sandi

Villa Sandi is owned and managed by Giancarlo Moretti Polegato and his family. The journey began in the 1920s, Mario Polegato, grandfather to Giancarlo, obtained some vineyards and began farming. After the Second World War, the family-owned enterprise became all encompassing. From Mario to his son Divo and wife Amalia, to their sons Mario and Giancarlo. The two brothers were incredibly passionate about the wine industry with Mario an oenologist whereas Giancarlo focused on the financial side. Unfortunately, their family had to deal with much tragedy with Mario senior being crushed by a runaway cart of wine barrels, and Divo passing away prematurely in 1979 when he borrowed Mario junior’s...

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.
Perfect aperitif but also great with canapes or panettone.
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.
