Santa Margherita-- The wine that made Pinot Grigio a household word. Pinot Grigio has been grown in the northeast part of Italy for many years, but it was not until an American importer took a small winery named Santa Margherita and tirelessly promoted their Pinot Grigio that anyone ever took notice.
Santa Margherita is grown in the Alto Adige region, the home to the finest Pinot Grigio vineyards in Italy. On the hillsides of the upper reaches of the Adige river valley the climate and soils are ideal for the production of flavorful rich Pinot Grigio.
