We believe that a special thread links the producer, the vine and its territory of origin. Wine production, varietal characteristics, and terroir should be in perfect harmony.

HERITA USA also strives to fulfill the evolving needs of our commercial partners, just as we are committed to sharing our passion and knowledge of wine with consumers.

We are dedicated to expanding the overall level of food and wine knowledge in the market, and providing our wholesale partners with educational sales tools and market support to develop and grow our brands.

Our History

Founded in 1935, Santa Margherita, the flagship brand, has been contributing to the international success of premium quality Italian wine for more than 80 years. This success has deep roots and strong bonds, backed by an approach mapped out by Santa Margherita’s founder, Count Gaetano Marzotto. 

A pioneer in his day, Count Gaetano Marzotto cultivated vineyards in three regions with outstanding viticultural potential; Eastern Veneto, the Adige River valley and the hills of Valdobbiadene. His vision to create world-class wines featuring the best of Italy’s vineyards was a driving force.

 

Over the years, the Marzotto family and our partner brands have enthusiastically carried forward their passion, creating an intriguing wine mosaic that embraces Italy and America’s prestigious wine districts: Franciacorta with Ca’ del Bosco, Alto Adige with Kettmeir, Trentino Alto Adige, Eastern Veneto and Prosecco with Santa Margherita and Torresella, Piedmont & Etna with Giovanni Rosso, Lombardy with Ca’ Maiol, Valpolicella with Masi, Chianti Classico with Lamole di Lamole, Fattoria Sardi in the heart Lucca, Toscana Maremma with Sassoregale and Sella Antica, Sardinia with Mesa, and the Willamette Valley with ROCO.

With the establishment of Santa Margherita USA in 2016, now HERITA USA, we proudly carry on his vision in the United States.

OUR WINE MOSAIC

 

We consider ourselves not just a wine group but a “wine mosaic,” with our tiles located in some of Italy and America’s finest production regions.

 

Our journey began in the early 1980s when we expanded our presence in the Veneto with Torresella. We then welcomed Kettmeir from Alto Adige, and in 1993 we added Lamole di Lamole, Chianti Classico in Tuscany.

 

In 1994, we incorporated Ca’ del Bosco from Franciacorta, and in 2017, we added Mesa from Sardinia. In 2000, we founded Sassoregale in the Maremma region of Tuscany, known for its expressive, full-bodied wines. In 2022, we introduced Sella Antica, a bold red blend also from the Maremma.

 

The final tile in our mosaic brings us to the United States, specifically the Willamette Valley region in Oregon, where we proudly feature the highly awarded ROCO Winery.
