Biography
Villa Sandi, Palladian style villa dating back to 1622, is located at the foot of the Prosecco hills in a renowned winemaking area, close to the historical Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG hilly area. The villa represents the combination between art and agriculture which characterized the Venetian landscape of past centuries.
The Moretti Polegato family, owner of Villa Sandi, has been dedicated to wine culture for generations. Today, the family brings to new life the ancient role of Venetian villas combining innovation and research to respect and love for tradition and territory.
Three-century-old underground cellars stretch for over 1,5 km under the villa and create the perfect environment for wine aging, thanks to their natural characteristic of keeping humidity and temperature at a constant level. Here “Opere Trevigiane” – a Classical Method Sparkling wine – is stored to refine, while the two barrel rooms host the casks in which Villa Sandi Premium wines are aged.
Vineyards have characterized for centuries the landscape of the Treviso area, especially the area between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano.
Villa Sandi devotes the utmost care and attention to producing Valdobbiadene-Conegliano Prosecco DOCG, which a special synergy of man, vine and territory has made one of the best renowned and most appreciated wines in the world.
On the Cartizze hill, cru of the Valdobbiadene-Conegliano DOCG area, passion for vine growing and wine making has resulted in even the most inaccessible parts being cultivated. In this microarea, where steep hillsides alternate with more gentle slopes, Villa Sandi owns a vineyard called “La Rivetta”.
The estate fully benefits from a special and perfect combination of geo-climatic features, which allows a wine with unique characteristics to be produced: Cartizze “Vigna La Rivetta, proposed in the brut version instead of the classic dry one and awarded with Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso.
