Michele Satta
Bolgheri • Tuscany • Unique Identity
"A man, his family, and a vineyard in the heart of Bolgheri. Michele Satta interprets the Tyrrhenian breeze to create labels with soul, history, and a timeless elegance that defies trends."
Bolgheri's Artisanal Revolution
To speak of Michele Satta is to go back to the origins of the Bolgheri DOC. While the region was consolidating following the Bordeaux model, Satta decided to pursue a more personal vision, integrating Sangiovese and Syrah grapes in an area dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. His approach, validated by critics such as Robert Parker and James Suckling, prioritizes finesse over alcoholic extraction.
In our collection of premium red wines, Satta's labels stand out for their balance. The use of used barrels and natural fermentations allows the character of the soil — a mosaic of alluvial and volcanic deposits — to shine in every glass. This philosophy of minimal intervention positions him as a cult producer within the category of collectible wines.
Piastraia - Bolgheri Superiore DOC
It is the ultimate expression of the eponymous vineyard. A blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Syrah that spends 24 months in barrels. Its aromatic complexity, reminiscent of tobacco, leather, and wild berries, has been celebrated by Wine Spectator as an example of Tuscan elegance.
Costa di Giulia - Bolgheri's White
For those seeking freshness, this blend of Vermentino and Viognier challenges the idea that Tuscany is only red wine country. It is one of the most vibrant white wines from the coast, ideal for pairing with the most refined Mediterranean cuisine.
