Villa Sandi Prosecco Valdobbiadene DOCG Superiore di Cartizze Brut

This was my stand out sparkling of my trip to Vinitaly 2025. Prosecco can sometimes get overlooked or be seen as a sub-standard alternative to Champagne. The truth is, Prosecco in general is cheaper to make and isn’t as time consuming as Champagne, so that’s why we see it in the supermarkets for less than £10 per bottle.
 
This Prosecco is a prime example of how good it can be. It’s made from Glera grapes harvested from a selection of vineyards called Cartizze in Valdobbiadene. Cartizze is the "Grand Cru" vineyard of Valdobbiadene, renowned for producing some of the finest Prosecco in the world. Everything about this is premium. It’s complex, refreshing and just as good as any Champagne for the same price point!
 
ACCOLADES:
 
This was featured in Decanter magazine's Top Ten Prosecco. This exceptional wine represents the pinnacle of Prosecco craftsmanship.
 
TASTING NOTES:
 
The bouquet is complex with beautiful fruity and floral aromas with enticing notes of ripe peach. The perlage (bubbles/fizziness) is exceptionally fine and well-integrated, contributing to the wine’s impressive length and development on the palate. A soft, savoury finish with hints of acacia honey, the beautiful balance between bright fruit, minerality, and a touch of sweetness, makes this one of the most refined expressions of Prosecco.
