Santa Margherita was born in 1935, when Count Gaetano Marzotto revitalized a stretch of the Venetian countryside—restoring farmland, reviving ancient viticultural traditions, and naming the project after his wife, Margherita. Rooted in a region shaped by Alpine rivers and Roman‑era vineyards, the estate quickly became a symbol of modern Italian winemaking. Its pioneering spirit led to a breakthrough in 1961, when Santa Margherita became one of the first producers to vinify Pinot Grigio as a monovarietal and off its naturally copper‑colored skins, creating the crisp, vibrant style that would become iconic worldwide. Over the decades, the winery expanded across Italy—from Veneto to Tuscany—crafting wines that honor regional character while embracing contemporary tastes. Today, Santa Margherita stands for quality, heritage, and the belief that great wine elevates life’s most meaningful moments, whether it’s a sunset exhale, a long table with friends, or the start of a forever story.

Santa Margherita Chianti Classico Riserva is a rich and complex wine with aromas of cherries and plums. With tannic, oak-aged flavors that give a dry, bright, and earthy complexity. It pairs well with charcuterie, pizza, pasta, grilled meats, and cheeses.
