✨ Technical Specifications
Santa Margherita, founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto, has long been a pioneer in modern Italian winemaking. Their Prosecco Brut, crafted primarily from the Glera grape grown in the scenic hills of the Veneto, represents a classic expression of Italian sparkling heritage. Produced using the Martinotti-Charmat method, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's natural, vibrant aromatics. This process yields a sparkling wine characterized by a fine, persistent perlage, delicate aromas of white peach, green apple, and citrus, and a crisp, clean finish that embodies the elegant, easy-going lifestyle of its native region.
🍾 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.
