✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic Santa Margherita estate, the '52' Brut is a tribute to the year 1952, when the winery first began championing the sparkling potential of the steep, sun-drenched hills of Valdobbiadene. Long before Prosecco achieved its global fame, Santa Margherita recognized that the Glera grape grown in these morainic, clay-limestone soils could yield sparkling wines of immense elegance and aromatic complexity. Made using the traditional Charmat-Martinotti method to preserve the grape's natural freshness, this Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG showcases a refined bouquet of peach, green apple, and white flowers, supported by a fine, persistent perlage that captures the vibrant spirit of its Venetian heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto and named in tribute to his wife, Santa Margherita has grown into one of Italy's premier viticultural institutions. Marzotto transformed marshland and agricultural estates in eastern Veneto into a modern, integrated farming enterprise. In 1961, the house fundamentally redefined global white wine by vinifying Alto Adige Pinot Grigio entirely 'in bianco'—without must skin contact—yielding the crisp, refreshing, and clean alpine style that established a global standard. Today, under Technical Director Loris Vazzoler, Santa Margherita oversees a multi-regional estate network spanning Trentino-Alto Adige, the morainic terraces of Valdobbiadene, Lombardy, and Tuscany. Viticulture centers on certified eco-sustainability, solar-powered cellars, and biodiversity conservation certified under Biodiversity Friend protocols. Its portfolio is crowned by benchmark expressions, including the Valdadige Pinot Grigio, the single-vineyard 'Impronta del Fondatore', Rive di Refrontolo Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, and refined regional interpretations such as Stilrose and Chianti Classico.
