It took great courage when Michele Satta produced the first Vermentino in Bolgheri in 1984 – at a time when the appellation had only just been established and white wine still seemed unthinkable in a region dominated by red wine. Costa di Giulia, named after a vineyard at the foot of Castagneto Carducci, began life as a single-varietal gem made from Vermentino, until Satta took a far-reaching decision in 1997: the addition of 40% Sauvignon Blanc was intended to give the wine more character and a sweeter, more extract-driven, broader finesse.

In the glass, it is a pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. The nose reveals aromas of stone fruit, pickled lemon and pear, underpinned by delicate hints of almond and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is a creamy, elegant white wine with remarkable minerality – Bolgheri's proximity to the sea lends it a natural salinity that harmonises perfectly with the tropical fruitiness of guava and peach. A wine that demonstrates, year after year, Bolgheri's potential for white grape varieties of great class and longevity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale straw yellow with silvery highlights. The nose is initially reserved but opens up with exposure to air. Aromas of green apple and pear emerge, with subtle hints of white flowers and lime. On the palate, it is juicy and lively, with medium body and well-integrated acidity, it goes down easily.

"The 2025 Bolgheri Bianco Costa di Giulia is crisp, dry and refreshing. Notes of citrus zest, white flowers, chalk, sage, mint and white pepper lend it a lively character throughout. A delightful Tuscan white wine from the coastal region, perfect as an aperitif, which should be enjoyed within the next two to three years." Vinous

"Bright and fruity, with fresh notes of apples, pears and flowers. Medium-bodied with good volume and concentration, yet elegant and refreshing. Drink now or keep for a while." James Suckling
