A fresh and delicious Prosecco Rosé with floral, pomegranate, and stone fruit characters.
Production Area
Areas dedicated to vine-growing in the north-eastern regions of Italy (Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions) with marly soils of alluvial origin rich in subsoil. The base wine cuvée is made from a blend between Glera and Pinot Nero grapes
Secondary Fermentation
The white must and a small part of the red wine are mixed. The resulting cuvée 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 being left for at least two months in contact with the yeasts, the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.
Winemaking
Whole white 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 red grapes, after pressing, are put into tanks where a soft maceration for extraction of color and a few tannins takes place at a controlled temperature of 22-23°C. At the same time the aroma is enhanced.
Pairing
Excellent as an aperitif. Ideal companion of finger foods, pasta, delicate cheeses and small pastry.

Villa Sandi is headquartered in a Palladian-style masterpiece dating back to 1622, in the hills of the Marca Trevigiana, situated between the Prosecco of Valdobbiadene DOCG area and the Montello and Colli Asolani DOC area. The winery’s roots go back to the early 1920s, when Mario Polegato, grandfather of current president Giancarlo, bought vineyards and entered the wine market. The Villa itself was later discovered to have underground galleries that, after a trip to Champagne in the 1980s, Mario and Giancarlo decided to use for aging the estate’s first classic-method sparkling wines.
Today the estate is run by Giancarlo Moretti Polegato, who carries on the family tradition with respect for heritage alongside a focus on research and innovation, with the next generation of the family now also involved in the business. Beyond winemaking, Villa Sandi is a landmark for Italian wine culture, hosting sommelier courses, expert-led tastings, and lectures, and offering guided tours of its underground cellars, the Villa, and its gardens
