Prosecco DOC BIO – Villa Sandi

Villa Sandi produces what seems to be like an endless supply of Prosecco, without ever compromising on quality, no matter what bottle you decide to pick up, especially including their outstanding Trophy Winning Rosé Prosecco, you will get an enjoyable experience.

“The ‘il Fresco’ range from Villa Sandi translates to ‘The Fresh’ range which hopefully gives you an idea of the style of wine you will be enjoying.”

Located in the picturesque region of Prosecco, Villa Sandi has had a foothold in the region since 1622, thanks to their Palladian-style Villa located among the green hills of the Marca Trevigiana, the Moretti Polegato family, for several generations have dedicated their time to producing and sharing their Wines, Sparkling Wines and Proseccos around the world.

Dyfi Distillery – Gin

The Cameron brothers opened Dyfi Distillery in March 2016 after two years of intensive research and experimentation, it all began in 2016 when they started distilling in very small batches using two small 100-liter stills.

Let’s meet the Cameron brothers:

Pete Cameron: is a hill farmer, forager, and beekeeper. He has lived and worked in the Dyfi region for over 30 years.

Danny Cameron: is a highly experienced wine and spirits professional, and a regular wine judge.

Blending nature, science and family, for the Cameron brothers, sustainability not only means respecting our fragile environment (which in Dyfi is additionally protected by UNESCO), but also creating some world-class gins so that their small family business contributes to their local rural economy.
