Founded by Count Gaetano Marzotto in 1935, Santa Margherita is the cornerstone of the Santa Margherita Wine Group. What began as a single winery has grown into a network of vineyards and wineries across Italy's top wine regions, including Veneto, Alto Adige, Tuscany, and Sicily. Known for pioneering modern Pinot Grigio production, Santa Margherita is a leader in quality and innovation. The Villanova winery, the heart of the business, is also a destination, showcasing the brand's commitment to sustainability with a fully energy self-sufficient facility that uses 100% renewable energy and produces vegan-friendly wines.

Over the decades, the company expanded by acquiring new vineyards throughout Italy, each with its unique terroir and native grape varieties. Today, the current generation brothers Stefano, Gaetano, Luca, and Nicolo have inherited both their grandfathers estate and his deep respect for the land. They view the companys holdings, from their roots in Veneto to Alto Adige, Lombardy, Tuscany, Sardinia, and Sicily, as a "wine mosaic" that showcases the very best of Italy.
