The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto, Santa Margherita revolutionized Italian winemaking by championing single-estate regional expression. While world-famous for pioneering Pinot Grigio, the winery has spent decades crafting classic Tuscan reds from their prime estate vineyards.

How it is made

Sourced from the heart of the historic Chianti Classico zone, where high-altitude vineyards provide the ideal microclimate for ripening Sangiovese. Traditional fermentation in stainless steel is followed by gentle aging in French oak barrels to soften the tannins.
