✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
