GIOVIN
RE 2021
MICHELE SATTA • TUSCAN VIOGNIER • BOLGHERI
"The Young King: the opulence of Viognier interpreted with the elegance and rigor of the Tuscan coast."
The Reinvention of Tuscan White
The 2021 Giovin Re is, as its name suggests, the "Young King" of the Michele Satta winery. This wine breaks the mold of Bolgheri by using exclusively the Viognier grape, a variety that in Satta's hands acquires an aristocratic dimension. Grown in soils facing the sea, the grape develops an exotic maturity that is balanced by a vibrant freshness. The 2021 vintage stands out for a perfect harmony between ripe fruit and the elegant structure conferred by its time in noble wood, consolidating it as one of the most prestigious and collectible whites in all of Italy. At La Cava Shop, we guarantee your order with immediate home delivery, as well as express 2-hour delivery for Ciudad Satélite and the Naucalpan residential area.
