The ‘120’ in the name refers to the number of days: exactly 120 days of ageing on the fine lees following the second fermentation in the autoclave. In the Charmat method, this is unusual – a level of patience more commonly associated with the Metodo Classico, but which has been deliberately applied to Prosecco here. The name La Rivetta refers to Villa Sandi’s most famous location: its own vineyard in Cartizze, the Grand Cru of Valdobbiadene. The 120 does not come from Cartizze – but from the surrounding hills of San Pietro di Barbozza, on morainic soils with calcareous sandstone and clay. 100% Glera, hand-harvested, maximum yield 120 Doppelzentner per hectare. Gentle whole-bunch pressing, controlled fermentation at 15–16 °C – followed by the aforementioned 120 days.

The impact of this maturity on the wine is palpable: a vibrant straw-yellow colour with green highlights. The bouquet offers notes of apple, white blossoms, a hint of citrus and a delicate minerality – fresher and more structured than a classic Superiore. On the palate, it is dry and precise, with a fine, persistent effervescence and a long, clean finish. A wonderfully distinguished Prosecco with character. SUPERIORE.DE

"Complex with cotton candy, rose, peach puree, melon and delicate limestone minerality; basil and sage lingers on the palate." Decanter
