This is the quintessentially perky wine: Crisp and snappy with bursting citrus notes including lemon drop, pink grapefruit and candied orange peel backed by delicate floral and jasmine aromas. Chalky, mineral notes round off a gorgeous nose. Designed according to Palladian principals in 1622, Villa Sandi is one of the most beautiful estates near Treviso. Owned by shoemaker Giancarlo Moretti Polegato, it has a one-kilometer long underground 17th-century gallery for red wine barrique aging.——M.L.(11/15/2005)—— 89

This reserve-level Prosecco strikes all the right chords. The nose is dry and, at first, chalky. With time it opens up nicely, leading to a palate full of orange, melon and other citrus. The sweet, sassy finish is just right. Overall it’s quite a well-rounded wine that plays a merry tune. —M.S.——M.S.(12/31/2002)—— 88

Villa Sandi’s refreshing Brut Prosecco offers everything you look for in a traditional Prosecco. The wine is well-priced and it awards a fresh mouthfeel that is balanced by peach, apricot and lemon zest. It’s soft and foamy in the mouth with a zippy, lively close.——M.L.(7/1/2009)—— 87

Light and friendly on the nose, with floral and green-herb aromas. Fairly round on the palate for Prosecco, with melon, honey and candied almond flavors. Finishes simple and clean, an unbroken continuation of the palate. ——M.S.(12/15/2004)—— 86

Smells like tangerines in a flower shop, then turns watery, with hints of apple and orange on the palate. Slightly sweet and a bit dull in the mouth, thanks to a paucity of bubbles. ——J.C.(12/31/2001)—— 82
