Michele Satta

A rosé made from Sangiovese according to the classic Pet-Nat method, harvested in the last half of August and whose carbonic acid is created unplanned by the almost complete fermentation of the sugar in the bottle. A sparkling wine with a yeast deposit that has played its way into the hearts of "natural wine" fans in a fresh and unconventional way. Ideal for aperitifs and light summer dishes. Unfiltered and unsulphured. SUPERIORE.DE

Exceptionally well done Bolgheri Rosso. Its unmistakable character and the strong Tuscan identity can be enjoyed with all senses. A perfect wine in Satta's first-class style: powerful, dynamic, complex with noticeably fine tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Independent, full of character - an almost exotic white wine from the noble appellation Bolgheri DOC. Smells of blossoms, peach and melon and shows on the palate the mineral fullness of the ancient grape variety Vermentino and the wonderfully fresh gooseberry aroma of Sauvignon Blanc. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Costa di Giulia (Vermentino/Sauvignon) is very nicely done. Lemon confit, orchard fruit, chamomile and white flowers lend lovely brightness and aromatic lift." Vinous

"A white with bitter lemon and light flint on the nose and palate. Some stone, too. It’s medium-bodied with layers of fruit and a bright finish." James Suckling

Michele Satta's Viognier is sophisticated and seductive and therefore the object of desire for wine lovers all over the world. Its inimitable bouquet of apricot and peach exudes an almost cheerful florality. A dense white wine that spreads softly and with beautiful freshness on the palate and lingers long. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 GiovinRe (Viognier) is laced with the essence of apricot, chamomile, tangerine oil and spice. Freshness and a sense of phenolic intensity are very nicely balanced in a coastal white with real character." Vinous

Piastraia fully corresponds to the classic image of a great Bolgheri Rosso Superiore. Made from a quarter each of Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, it fills the glass with its intense bouquet of fruit and a hint of leather aromas. Powerful, concentrated and pure taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very coherent wine of Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese; multi-faceted bouquet of wild berries, licorice and dried flowers; grippy attack, the fine-grained tannins in perfect balance with the acidity, the finish long and linear. Also very successful in this warm vintage." Vinum

"Rich garnet. Very spicy nose, underpinned with green pepper and light leather, lush cherry fruit, some plum, then chalky tones and ripe cassis again, layered and rich. Equally full-bodied on the palate, albeit with a fine drinking flow, compact, tightly woven tannin gives support, still young, very good foresight." Falstaff

"Smooth, this evokes black cherry and blackberry flavors gently singed by earth and spice flavors. Light tannins gird the finish, with a bittersweet chocolate feel." Wine Spectator

"The 2017 Piastraia is a super-expressive wine in this range that will drink well right out of the gate. Ripe red/purplish fruit, sweet spice and floral notes are all wrapped together in this attractive, mid-weight wine. Time in the glass brings out an attractive, bright upper register, while silky tannins add quite a bit of appeal." Vinous

"The Michele Satta 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Piastraia offers intensity and bold fruit with plenty of rich blackberry, dried cherry and toasted spice. The is a full and generous wine from a hot vintage that does not hold back in term of fruit density or intensity. It would welcome some pork-filled ravioli. The soft tannins add to the wine's balanced full-bodied approach." Robert Parker

"A full, rich red with beautiful softness and balance. It’s impressively tight and focused with polish and beauty. Layered and bright. Give this some time to come together, but very well done for the vintage. Better after 2022." James Suckling

Sattas almost black-violet Syrah with an extraordinary bouquet of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, tar and graphite shines with richness and intensity. Not a flatterer, but also not an angular representative - a sensational wine for today and the coming years. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright dark ruby, intense and inviting nose with a pronounced aroma of dark fruit, especially blackberry, with some liquorice behind. Firm and gripping on the palate with taut tannins, the Cavaliere shows its animating (Sangiovese) style in the course and keeps a good pressure until the long final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich and dense in the glass, with terrific density and real presence, the 2017 packs plenty of punch. Dark fruit, scorched earth, licorice, lavender and cloves add to an impression of power and gravitas. The 2017 has a lot of character, that much is evident, but the tannins are pretty imposing." Vinous

"A ripe red with lots of blueberry, dark-chocolate and walnut character. It’s full and tannic. Very young, intense sangiovese. Needs time to soften." James Suckling

This is the second vintage of the currently only Bolgheri Superiore, which is produced apart from the classic French Bordeaux grape varieties. It consists of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Syrah. Two grape varieties that the Sattas have studied for several decades and whose quality has convinced us and the international critics for many years. Marianova combines great aromatic breadth with a gigantic drinking pleasure and at the same time underlines the great individuality of the winery like no other wine.

Bright ruby red. In the nose a potpourri of spicy notes: spicy the Syrah and crisp the Sangiovese. Small red ripe berries and some blackberry essence mix with moist soil, smoke, tree bark and tar. This exceptional wine is carried by a bouquet of dark fruits and a fresh acidity, its impressive finish is infinitely long and powerful. SUPERIORE.DE

"3250 bottles are pressed by this Sangiovese and Syrah selection in its second vintage: an enchanting bouquet of cherries and spices; a smooth course with very well integrated powerful tannins and invigorating acidity, shows elegance until the final. Vinum

"Brilliant ruby violet with a slightly bright edge. A lot of present fruit, like mulberries and blueberries, in addition dark cherries, some spicy macchia smoke. A dense tannin with a sweet core, develops for a long time with a lot of pressure, tobacco in the final." Falstaff

"Marianova is the first Bolgheri Superiore to be made without any Bordeaux varietals. Instead it's a 50/50 blend of Syrah and Sangiovese, the idea of Michele Satta’s son Giacomo, first produced in 2015. Ruby red and restrained, it's focussed on vibrant raspberry and cherry aromas layered with indian spice notes and a touch of leathery character. It shows a firm yet ripe tannic structure with chewy acidity and a great savoury finish of toasted notes and prunes." Decanter

"Aromas of currants, crushed berries and walnuts, as well as chocolate. Full body, juicy tannins and beautiful fruit at the end. Big wine that needs time to soften. A blend of sangiovese and syrah." James Suckling

"On first nose, the 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Marianova (equal parts Syrah and Sangiovese) shows savory and barbecue-like aromas with teriyaki sauce and hickory smoke followed by plummy fruit and blackberry preserves. There is a note of sweetness with lots of spice, leather and tobacco at the edges. Of Michele Satta's releases, this wine is the most unlike him in that it is the most contemporary and enriched. This is the second vintage of Marianova (the winery’s latest creation) to be released." Robert Parker
