Prosecco Superiore 'Rive di Refrontolo' Santa Margherita 2024

The Prosecco Superiore ‘Rive di Refrontolo’ Extra Brut by Santa Margherita is a light and refreshing sparkling wine, perfect to enjoy as a thirst-quenching aperitif on warm summer evenings. The Santa Margherita winery was founded in 1935, already looking towards the future, expanding its volumes over the years and always using the most modern equipment offered by technological innovation. It is produced entirely in the Bagolaro selection vineyard, in Refrontolo, which takes its name from the majestic stone-breaking tree that grows right here, in its center. The vineyard forms a natural amphitheater, a sort of stage where the protagonist vines gather sunlight to transform it into the characteristic aromatic notes of Rive di Refrontolo.

Santa Margherita Extra Brut ‘Rive di Refrontolo’ Prosecco Superiore is a Glera cultivated in the Tenuta di Refrontolo, between 200 and 250 meters above sea level. The plants are rooted in morainic soils composed of clay alternating with layers of crumbly pudding. Following the harvest, the grapes are softly pressed and the resulting must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. The sparkling process takes place at low temperature in autoclaves according to the Charmat Method (or Martinotti).

‘Rive di Refrontolo’ Santa Margherita Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut is a bright straw-yellow color with persistent and fine effervescence. On the nose, fragrant notes of fresh white-fleshed fruit, citrus, peach, jasmine, and bitter almond alternate, while the taste, fragrant and vertical, highlights superb lightness and remarkable freshness. A sparkling wine skilled in fully manifesting the characteristic accessibility and pleasantness of the denomination, thus suitable for pairing with delicate appetizers and platters of fresh cheeses and cold cuts.
