Santa Margherita Brut Rosé is a non-vintage Italian sparkling rosé from Santa Margherita, bottled at 11.5% ABV.
It is built on Chardonnay and Glera, with a touch of red grape that gives it its delicate pink colour.
Fresh and lively, it offers red berries, citrus and white flowers with a fine, persistent mousse.
Dry and elegant, it is a versatile sparkler for aperitivo hour, celebrations and food alike.
Its signature bottle, with an embossed rosette label, makes it a beautiful gift for a party or a dinner host.
Traditional-method sparkling wine is made the same way as Champagne: a still base wine is bottled with a little yeast and sugar, and the second fermentation in the bottle creates fine, persistent bubbles. Time resting on the spent yeast, the lees, adds the toasty, brioche-like notes that set these wines apart from tank-fermented styles.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Santa Margherita Brut Rosé well chilled, between 6 and 8°C, in a flute or white-wine glass. It is a lovely aperitivo on its own, a festive choice for toasts and brunch, and a bright base for a rosé spritz with a splash of aperitivo bitter and an orange slice. Pair it with prosciutto, smoked salmon, sushi, light pastas, grilled shrimp and strawberry desserts. Once opened, reseal it with a sparkling-wine stopper and keep it in the fridge for a day or two. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
