Nestled in the hills of the eastern Veneto is one of the most wonderful wine growing regions - the Valdobbaidene. In April 2010 this small area was established as a DOCG region, the highest quality level that can be given to an Italian wine. Glera (formerly known as Prosecco) grapes are grown on the steep hillsides, 100% hand-harvested, and crafted into the prized Santa Margherita Prosecco DOCG. With peach and apple aromas, this fresh and balanced sparkling wine has fine perlage with a refreshing finish. Prosecco di Valdobbiadene is excellent as an aperitif, ideal with seafood dishes and after meals with light desserts.
Decanter 92 points (Jan 2019) Attractive sweetness on the palate, which at the same time displays drive and focus. Mineral-charged with bright lemon notes and a firm crispness. Wine & Spirits 88 points (Aug 2013) An earthy Prosecco with scents of pear and mushrooms, this is dry in the finish, lasting with a hint of spice, like nutmeg. Pour it with speck. Wine Enthusiast 89 points (Dec 2016) Creamy and refreshing, this offers aromas of white spring flower, white peach and tropical fruit. The bright frothy palate offers mature pear, apple, tangerine zest and candied lemon drop alongside an elegant perlage and fresh acidity.
