Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Sassoregale Sangiovese 750ml instantly transports you to the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, where ripe cherries and wild herbs fill the air. This Italian red, with an alcohol by volume of 13.00%, bursts with vibrant notes of black cherry, crushed violets, and a hint of earthy spice that lingers on the palate. Crafted from Sangiovese grapes grown in Italy’s coastal Maremma region, it offers a lively acidity and supple tannins that make every glass feel both rustic and refined. Sassoregale Sangiovese is a natural companion for grilled lamb or a wedge of Pecorino cheese, its savory undertones enhancing each bite while its juicy fruit character keeps your senses engaged from start to finish.

Producer Information: Santa Margherita Gruppo Vinicolo

Santa Margherita Gruppo Vinicolo was founded in 1935 by Count Gaetano Marzotto in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, where he envisioned a modern agricultural enterprise that would harmonize with the local landscape and community. Rooted in the heart of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, Santa Margherita quickly became synonymous with innovation, particularly for pioneering the production of Pinot Grigio as a crisp, food-friendly white wine that highlights the mineral-rich soils and cool climate of Alto Adige and Veneto. The group’s philosophy centers on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking to express each terroir’s character. Beyond their iconic Pinot Grigio, Santa Margherita produces elegant Prosecco Superiore DOCG from Valdobbiadene, complex Chianti Classico from Tuscany’s rolling hills, and robust Merlot-Cabernet blends from Trentino-Alto Adige. Their portfolio also includes sparkling rosé wines crafted using Glera and Chardonnay grapes as well as single-varietal reds like Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso from Friuli Venezia Giulia, reflecting a commitment to regional diversity across Italy’s most celebrated wine-growing areas.
