✨ Technical Specifications
Santa Margherita, founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto, has long been a pioneer in Italian winemaking, revitalizing the Veneto countryside and bringing Italian sparkling wine to the global stage. This Extra Dry Prosecco is crafted primarily from the Glera grape, grown in the hilly, sun-drenched vineyards of northeastern Italy. Utilizing the Martinotti-Charmat method, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's natural, vibrant aromas of white peach, pear, and wild flowers. The 'Extra Dry' designation represents a classic Italian style, offering a soft, round mouthfeel with a delicate touch of residual sweetness that perfectly balances the crisp, refreshing acidity.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto, Santa Margherita began as an ambitious agricultural revitalization project based in Fossalta di Portogruaro and has since evolved into one of Italy's most iconic and internationally acclaimed wine estates. The winery revolutionized global wine culture in 1961 when it pioneered the white vinification of pink-skinned Pinot Grigio grapes in the Adige Valley, creating a crisp, fresh, and aromatic style that redefined Italian white wine. Today, Santa Margherita curates prime vineyards across Italy's most celebrated terroirs, including Alto Adige, Valdobbiadene, Tuscany, and Lombardy. Guided by a deep dedication to sustainability, precision, and regional authenticity, the estate is renowned for its benchmark Pinot Grigio, elegant Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore sparkling wines, refined Chianti Classico reds, and vibrant rosés.
