Valdadige's famous Pinot Grigio is now sold in 85 countries and has been the market leader in this variety for over 50 years. For the production of the brand's most famous white wine, Pinot Grigio juice is gently squeezed from the skin so as not to acquire a rusty color and fermented for 10-15 days. After fermentation, the wine is stored in stainless steel at a controlled temperature until bottling. In addition to Pinot Grigio, Santa Margherita offers a wide range of white, red, rosé, sparkling and dessert wines from a range of Italian DOC, DOCG and IGT wines. regions. They are made from a number of local and international grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Glera, Gewurztraminer, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Teroldego and Refosco.
