The stony soils of Asolo township are ideal for the production of minerality-driven Prosecco with freshness and intense fruit flavors. Villa Sandi’s Asolo vineyards are Biodiversity Friend certified, meaning that farming practices encourage biodiversity, wild life, and wild flowers and plants among the rows.

Prosecco Asolo is a hillside zone identified for the high quality of its grapes. It is a five mile long ridge across the river from the zones of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. This particular example comes from a one hectare vineyard producing 11,000 bottles. There is a beautiful hint of almond cream along with ripe pear and soft green apple. It is clean, steely and fresh, showing excellent purity of flavour and good intensity. Not necessarily a party wine, it’s a more cerebral approach to Prosecco.
