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.
