Villa Sandi : Il Fresco Biologico

A fruity and harmonious Prosecco Spumante from Veneto

The estate

Throughout each vintage, Villa Sandi has beamed beyond borders as one of the largest producers of Italian wines. Located at the heart of the magnificent region of Prosecco in Veneto, this family estate, on a perpetual quest for excellence, overlooks an exceptional vineyard from which floral and fruity Prosecco grapes originate, as well as the famous Il Fresco.

The vineyard

Il Fresco Biologico by Villa Sandi is produced from a vineyard that is exclusively operated through Organic Farming. This terroir stands out through the presence of alluvium.

Winemaking and ageing

The grapes are subject to light pressing, giving a must which, after an initial racking, is placed in thermoregulated vats until it is used to produce sparkling wines. Vinification is carried out with the help of yeasts selected by Villa Sandi. Carried out at 15-16°C, alcoholic fermentation is interrupted by refrigeration once the required alcohol and sugar levels are reached. A short settling precedes bottling, during which the second fermentation is carried out to preserve floral and fruity aromas.

Blend

Produced in the Prosecco Spumante appellation, the Il Fresco Biologico cuvée by Villa Sandi is produced from a blend of 85% Glera and 15% Chardonnay / Pinot Noir.
