Santa Margherita

Refrontolo is in the heart of the finest Prosecco country, where some of the steepest hills in Italy create the most flavorful Glera grapes. The grapes love it here high above sea level, where they benefit from warm days, cool nights, and better drainage. These wondrous Glera grapes are meticulously hand-harvested, assuring only the finest grapes are used. It’s a tedious process on steep terrain, but when you taste the result, you’ll feel as we do — it’s worth it.

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.”
