"The Young King: the opulence of Viognier interpreted with the elegance and rigor of the Tuscan coast."
The Reinvention of Tuscan White Wine
The Giovin Re 2021 is, as its name suggests, the "Young King" of the **Michele Satta** winery. This wine breaks the molds of Bolgheri by exclusively using the Viognier grape, a variety that in Satta's hands acquires an aristocratic dimension. Grown in soils overlooking the sea, the grape develops an exotic ripeness that is balanced with a vibrant freshness. The 2021 vintage stands out for a perfect harmony between ripe fruit and the elegant structure conferred by its aging in fine wood, consolidating it as one of the most prestigious and collectible white wines in all of Italy.
