Villa Sandi – Year 1622

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. A vibrant stage in which nature and architecture live in total harmony together; place of delight and headquarters, the complex of Villa Sandi is an enchanting estate where man and environment are in perfect symbiosis.

The entrance is an elegant alley sided by statues of the popular Venetian sculptor Orazio Marinali, whose works decorate also the gable and the backyard. A massive pronaos, sustained by four Ionian columns, adorn the main part of the building, on each side of which two elegant Barchesse and a small chapel stand.The Villa, cultural heritage of the Trevisan land, is situated between the D.O.C.G. area of the Prosecco of Valdobbiadene and the D.O.C. area of the Montello and Piave wines.

Prosecco Rosé presents itself revealing an elegant pink color with coppery reflections and a fine and persistent perlage.

Areas with a high viticultural vocation in the north-eastern regions of Italy (Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia) with marly soils of alluvial origin rich in skeleton.

Vine Variety

The base wine cuvée is composed of Glera and Pinot Noir.

Harvest Period

End of August for Pinot Noir, end of September for the Glera.

Winemaking

The whole white grapes are introduced into the pneumatic press and the must obtained from their soft pressing, after an initial decanting, is placed in temperature-controlled tanks where it remains until used for the production of sparkling wine; After pressing, the red grapes are sent to the winemakers to undergo a light maceration at a temperature of 22-23°C so that there is an extraction of color and few tannic substances while enhancing the aromas.

Production

The white must and a minimum percentage of red wine are mixed and added with yeasts selected by Villa Sandi, the cuvée thus obtained is placed in the containers where fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16°C; in this way all the aromas of the harvest are enhanced. Once the desired alcohol content and sugar content have been reached, fermentation is stopped through refrigeration and after a period of rest on the yeasts of at least two months the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.
