Classification

Sparkling wine produced in D.O.C.G. regions, Brut

Production area

The Villa Sandi estate Vigna La Rivetta which lies in the heart of the 106 hectares of the Cartizze area, between the districts of Santo Stefano and S. Pietro di Barbozza in the municipality of Valdobbiadene. A real cru resulting from the perfect combination between a gentle microclimate and a very old land with calcareous sandstones and clays.

Training system

Double canopy with 2500 vines per hectare.

Yield per hectare

Max.120 quintals of grapes.

Secondary fermentation

The must 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 a short settling period the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.

Winemaking

Whole 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.

Pairing

A sparkling wine that can be served both at the beginning and at the end of a meal. Ideal with marinated rock-fish or salmon tartare.
