Villa Sandi Strengthens Its Position in the U.S. Wine Market in 2026

Villa Sandi, a family-owned and historic winery from the Veneto region of Italy, is demonstrating remarkable growth in the United States, especially in 2026. The winery, recognized for its exquisite Prosecco and Italian sparkling wines, is capitalizing on strong momentum and engaging actively with the American wine scene.

Throughout this year, Villa Sandi has dedicated its efforts towards deepening connections with both consumers and industry professionals. This strategic move includes a series of tastings and events aimed at bringing their impressive portfolio to the forefront of the American culinary landscape. Among the significant highlights is their participation in the renowned 2026 Food & Wine Classic held in Aspen, a vast platform where the winery showcased its Top-tier Prosecco offerings to a selection of esteemed wine professionals and passionate consumers.

“The first half of 2026 has been particularly exhilarating for us within the U.S. market,” expressed Diva Moretti Polegato, Vice President of Villa Sandi. “We take pride in the relationships we’ve nurtured with both our trade partners and consumers. Participation in prominent events, such as the Food & Wine Classic, has allowed us to share our rich narrative and the diverse flavors of Prosecco with a larger audience.” This feedback is indicative of the growing appreciation for Prosecco within the U.S., and the winery’s ambition to further establish itself as a leading representative of this appealing sparkling wine variety.

Villa Sandi's commitment to the U.S. market is further underscored by its upcoming contributions to Vinitaly.USA, scheduled for October 26–27 at Pier 36 in New York City. This event presents yet another chance for the winery to solidify its ties with U.S. wine professionals and highlight its diverse wine portfolio, comprising Prosecco DOC, Prosecco Superiore DOCG, and Cartizze DOCG. The winery's focus on quality, sustainability, and hospitality enables them not just to sell wine, but to promote the rich cultural heritage of their region.

Established in 1975, Villa Sandi has emerged as a benchmark producer of Prosecco. The estate, a stunning 17th-century Palladian villa, has expanded its reach to over 130 markets globally. Villa Sandi notably prioritizes sustainability and has embedded these principles deeply within its business model, which is reflected in their winemaking practices. As they persist in their mission to engage with an increasingly diverse wine community, the winery remains optimistic about the future.

The 2026 U.S. wine market, teeming with potential avenues for growth, is viewed with keen interest by Villa Sandi. As they continue their journey through this remarkable landscape, the winery aims to leverage the excitement surrounding Prosecco to encourage more American consumers to explore its varied offerings.

In summary, Villa Sandi’s focused approach, exemplified by high-profile events and tailored consumer interactions, positions them well to continue expanding their influence within the U.S. wine market. The team looks forward to building on this positive momentum and further enriching the American appreciation for Italian sparkling wines throughout the rest of 2026 and beyond.
