Santa Margherita is one of the two italian firms permitted, by ministerial decree, to make wines sparkling outside the region in which they are grown. The Santa Margherita trademark is a graphic stylization of the Renaissance drawing of Villa Marzotto at Portogruaro. It is the distinguishing mark for the labels of its famous wines. The splendid villa was built around 1540 in the historical center and today hosts the city cultural center. The origins of Prosecco are lost in time. However, it was only towards the end of the XIX century that Prosecco started to make a name for itself. From then on, it grew steadily in popularity, and today the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene is undeniably one of the best-known and most highly-appreciated italian wines. The still wine is placed in an autoclave for second fermentation, where it ferments for 18-20 days with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature. When the desired pressure is reached , the mass is cooled to block fermentation and promote stabilisation. Afterwards, the wine is kept at a controlled temperature for at least a further month, so as to favour the natural refinement in contact with the yeasts deposited on the bottom of the autoclave. At the end of this phase, the wine is filtered and bottled. This is a sparkling wine with a clean nose, pleasantly fruity, with whiffs of rennet apples and peach blossoms. The delicate and balanced taste of this prosecco is one to be savoured and enjoyed. (6 x 75 cl)
