We first visited Villa Sandi, a high end and scenery winery located at the foothill of Marca Trevigiana. Moretti Polegato family started wine making since 1622. The main building built in the 16th century had many famous visitors, including Napoleon I and sculptor Antonio Canova. The magnificent glass chandelier gave me a European grand feeling. Besides, it has a underground cellar that has 1.5km long! Very impressive. Although the winery locates in between DOC region Prosecco di Valdobbiadene and Mon-tello e Piave, it has 3 vineyards under DOC and DOCG. The best among is definitely La Rivetta which consists of 106.8 hectares, locating at the heart of Cartizze, in the most renowned region in Valdobbiadene. Vines are planted on clay slopes that full of calcium. With a unique micro-climate, the best Glera are used to make the flagship wine Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze La Rivetta. It has aromatic banana, tropical fruits and caramel. It was once chosen as one of the best Top10 Prosecco by Decanter, and it won the first place in our Cru Panel Tasting last year. Stefano Gava, winemaker of Villa Sandi contributed to the great success also: I deliberately do not put any yeast during the first fermentation and I store the grape juice at 0 C. Then I add yeast during the second fermentation, so as to keep the wine fresh and aromatic. I tasted 5 Prosecco and I was surprised with the IL FRESCO Prosecco DOC Treviso Spumante, carrying lovely pineapple, banana and a balanced body. 行程第一站, 我們來到頂級酒莊 Villa Sandi, 一間位於 Marca Trevigiana 山腳下的美麗酒莊 Moretti Polegato 家族自 1622 年便開始葡萄酒業, 其 16 世紀文藝復興的主大樓, 從前是曾經接待多個貴族如拿破崙一世及雕塑家 Antonio Canova 等的別墅, 金碧輝煌的玻璃吊燈, 很有歐陸式的華麗感覺 ; 地下酒窖長達 1.5 公里, 足有三百年歷史, 參考價值尤如博物館一樣 雖然酒莊位於 Prosecco di Valdobbiadene 及 Mon-tello e Piave 之間的 DOC 地區, 卻分別於 DOC 及 DOCG 地區擁有三個葡萄園, 當中最好是 106.8 公頃的葡萄園 La Rivetta, 它位於 Cartizze 區的心臟地帶, 在 Valdobbiadene 最著名的地區 Santo Sefano 及 San Pietro di Barbozza 之間, 葡萄樹裁種在充滿鈣質的黏土山坡上, 加上獨有的微氣候, 就造上乘的 Glera, 用來酒莊的頂級酒釀如 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze La Rivetta, 它帶芳香的香蕉 熱帶果及焦糖味, 曾被 Decanter 選為 Top10 Proseccos, 亦於本刊去年的試飲會中, 贏得冠軍 美味的秘密也靠釀酒師 Stefano Gava 的獨門技術, 他解釋 : 在第一次發酵, 我刻意不加入酵母, 只以零度陳放 ; 待第二次發酵才加入酵母, 令酒體保持清爽, 芳香無比 更驚喜的是, 到訪當日試了五款 Prosecco, 當中 DOC 出品如 IL FRESCO Prosecco DOC Treviso Spumante 也是相當不錯, 帶清幽的菠蘿及香蕉味, 酒體平衡, 值得推介 Villa Sandi Via Erizzo, 112/B, 31035 Crocetta del Montello Treviso, Italie +39-0423-665033 www.villasandi.it Distributor in HK: Sino Vantage Asia Ltd. 2581 9101 011
