We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Santa Margherita Great Taste Challenge! An idea that sprouted from our love of great wine and unique cuisine, this challenge successfully combines these two elements in a new and exciting way.
We believe that the thoughtful pairing of great wine and food brings every gathering to a new level. As America’s favorite imported wine, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio has long complemented some of the best home-cooking across the country. With the recent release of Santa Margherita Prosecco and Chianti Classico, America’s aspiring chefs now have the perfect range of wines to pair with their delicious recipes.
Through the Great Taste Challenge, we’ve opened the door for food and wine lovers to share their favorite, original recipes. All they need to do is upload a homemade video where they discuss their unique dish and how it pairs with one of the Santa Margherita wines. We are using this challenge to set the stage for an innovative collection of recipes, all of which are complemented by Santa Margherita’s collection of authentic, Italian wines — Pinot Grigio, Chianti Classico, and Prosecco.
With the help of renowned chef, Fabio Viviani, we will select three finalists and, ultimately, one winner of the Great Taste Challenge. The winner will receive a trip for two to Los Angeles, dinner with Fabio, and more! Want to join in on the action? Stay tuned for more details on how to enter and win — let the challenge begin!

Santa Margherita Chianti Classico is my favorite. I can’t wait to see the recipes that people pair with it.

I’m excited about the Santa Margherita Chicago Challenge. I’m trying to use the online submission form but am having problems. The site tells me I have exceeded the maximum characters but my computer word count tells me I have not. I think 1000 characters is tough enough to describe the preparation of any worthy dish but I managed to get my description in at just under 1000 characters (again, according to MS Word). Can you help on this? I know I have a winner.

I am so relieved to read that the winners will be decided by your staff and the Chef. I was worried because I see that some of these entries are racking up numbers that are obviously not possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being a company of integrity, as I’ve always believed.
