Description

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Brut Valdobbiadene - Charmat Method - Santi represents the most refined and structured expression of Prosecco, offering an extremely dry and pure taste profile. This Extra Brut version, coming from the hills of Valdobbiadene, the heart of the DOCG area, is a triumph of the Santi winery, which with dedication and mastery, produces a high quality Prosecco, making the most of the Glera vine through the Charmat Method. This winemaking technique preserves the aromatic intensity and freshness of the wine, enhancing the varietal characteristics in an elegant and sophisticated way.

To the eye, it presents a delicate straw yellow color, crossed by greenish reflections and a very fine and incessant perlage, which anticipates the quality and finesse of the sip. The olfactory bouquet is a harmonious mix of fruity notes, with a predominance of green apple and pear, followed by floral accents and a light minerality, which together give the wine a freshness and inviting complexity.

In the mouth, the distinctive characteristic of this Extra Brut is its marked dryness, balanced by a lively and refreshing acidity. The structure is slim but expressive, with an aromatic persistence that faithfully reflects the olfactory notes and leads to a long and clean finish, where the purity of the fruit blends with a subtle mineral vein.

Ideal as an aperitif for lovers of wines with clear varietal characteristics and marked dryness, Santi's Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Brut is also an excellent travel companion for light appetizers, dishes based on raw fish or seafood, offering a stimulating and refined contrast that enhances the flavours.

Winery history

Cantina Santi was founded as a winery in Illasi and has been present in Valpolicella since the 19th century. During the 20th century the Santi family introduced technical innovations and progressively focused on high-end wines; in 1974 the winery became part of Gruppo Italiano Vini, which reinforced investments and facilities while preserving its local identity.

Production philosophy

Santi claims a style tied to the sense of place of Valpolicella: it favors the predominant use of Corvina in its selections, aging in large traditional casks, and the use of local woods to enhance the aromatic qualities typical of native grape varieties. The approach combines oenological research with respect for local practices.

Terroir and vineyards

Santi's vineyards and selections are concentrated in Val d'Illasi and the classic areas of Valpolicella, using a vineyard-selection approach across different exposures and microclimates to produce wines that reflect the local terroir. The winery also works with vineyards in other Veronese appellations such as Soave, Bardolino and Lugana.
