Santa Margherita di Belice
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Recognised since 2004, the Santa Margherita di Belice DOC spans only two Sicilian municipalities, Montevago and its namesake town, yet currently records zero verified producers. For those who seek out its theoretical wines, the red blend stands apart from typical Sicilian appellations: it mandates a dominant component of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, which must jointly or individually comprise at least 50% of the blend, paired with a minimum of 20% Nero d'Avola. Yielding a maximum of 12.0 tonnes per hectare, this dry, slightly tannic red reaches at least 11.5% alcohol, showing a ruby red color with garnet nuances and a fine, ethereal bouquet.
