Brut "La Rivetta" by Villa Sandi was born from the desire to produce a great sparkling wine that could showcase the best characteristics of the Cartizze terroir. The famous hill of only 106 hectares, located between the fractions of Santo Stefano and S. Pietro di Barbozza in Valdobbiadene, represents the peak of the qualitative pyramid of this sparkling wine. The mild, always ventilated microclimate and the soils composed of fine limestone sands and clays constitute the precious treasure of this small terroir. The grapes come only from the Rivetta vineyard and thanks to the beautiful exposure and the significant temperature variations between day and night, they have a particularly rich aromatic profile. After the harvest, the grapes undergo a soft pressing to extract only the free-run juice. Fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The base wines mature for a few months in steel and are then placed in autoclaves for the sparkling process and second fermentation according to the Martinotti Method.
