Santa Margherita is one of Italy’s most internationally recognized wine brands — a name synonymous with elegance, accessibility, and the modern face of Italian white wine. Founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto in Alto Adige, and later expanding across key Italian appellations, Santa Margherita was created to celebrate regional diversity with a unifying focus: to craft wines of purity, style, and consistent quality. Today, it is best known for introducing Pinot Grigio to the global stage in a clean, dry, and food-friendly style that helped redefine the category.

The winery draws fruit from a network of carefully managed vineyards across Alto Adige, Veneto, Prosecco, Tuscany, and Sicily, each site selected for its capacity to reflect varietal character with clarity and freshness. Sustainable practices are central to the group’s philosophy, with a strong focus on energy efficiency, water conservation, and carbon neutrality across its modern production facilities.

Winemaking is meticulous and designed to preserve aromatics and structure. Grapes are harvested at peak ripeness and immediately cooled to retain acidity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel under controlled temperatures, followed by short lees ageing to enhance mouthfeel while maintaining brightness. For reds like Chianti Classico and Merlot, oak is used with restraint, always in service of fruit clarity and balance.

The wines are fresh, polished, and consistently precise. Pinot Grigio Valdadige, the flagship, is crisp and mineral with notes of green apple, white peach, and citrus peel — bone dry, clean-lined, and endlessly versatile. Prosecco Superiore is floral and lifted, while Chianti Classico Riserva offers cherry, spice, and soft tannins in a rounded, elegant frame. Across all regions and styles, the wines carry a signature of approachability and quiet refinement.

What defines Santa Margherita is its clarity of purpose — a commitment to crafting wines that reflect Italy’s diversity with a modern, confident ease.

These are wines that move with simplicity and precision — made not to challenge, but to accompany, and always to elevate the everyday with a sense of lightness and style.
