"Santa Margherita grows luscious, aromatic, Glera grapes in the gentle hills of Valdobbiadene. Just north of Venice, this town is synonymous with the finest Prosecco Superiore and DOCG status – the highest and most distinctive classification possible. Our early development and investment in Conegliano-Valdobbiadene began in 1952, when Gaetano Marzotto fell in love with sparkling Prosecco and the enchanting area where it is made. He immediately recognized the wine’s potential. It is a love story that is more passionate today than ever before, and it has led Santa Margherita to become one of the top producers of this exceptional wine, and for Prosecco to become one of the most famous and highly regarded sparkling wines in the world. These early efforts not only established a benchmark of quality and provenance, just as we did with Pinot Grigio, but inspired this winemaking method in the early 1950’s, years before the “Prosecco phenomenon.”
This sparkling wine has fine, lively bubbles that dance within its bright straw-yellow colour and greenish reflections. Its lovely aromas include ripe pineapples, peaches, and Rennet apples as well as delicate florals. Its finish is crisp and dry, yet sweet on the palate."
5 Stars & Number 1 Cuisine Prosecco Tasting, December 2021 (NV)
"DOC and DOCG are the geographic indicators for prosecco. Translated, DOC is ‘designation of controlled origin’ and DOCG is ‘designation of controlled origin and guaranteed’. While both are assurances of quality and provenance, a DOCG prosecco is considered superior. With that in mind it’s wonderful to see that our judges were quick to recognise a DOCG prosecco during this blind tasting and elevate it as our top prosecco.
This prosecco has tantalising freshness with limes, apples and peach blossom mingling on the palate. This is a wine that is both expressive and restrained at the same time with a wonderful saltiness on the palate that enhances the mouthfeel. A very complete and poised prosecco."
