The Michele Satta Winery was founded in 1983 in Castagneto Carducci – in the heart of the Bolgheri DOC. Michele Satta, one of the pioneers of the region, built up his family winery step by step. Today, it comprises 25 hectares of its own vineyards and produces around 150,000 bottles annually. Driven by passion, innovation and a deep connection to the terroir, the wines represent Bolgheri in its purest form.
Michele Satta's Piastraia Bolgheri Superiore combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc to create an expressive cuvée. In the glass, it is powerful and complex, with ripe fruit, spice and fine wood notes. Elegantly structured on the palate, with great length and ageing potential of up to 20 years.
The wine is initially aged in concrete tanks before maturing in wooden barrels to perfection.
