Michele Satta's Bolgheri Rosso is far more than just his bestseller – it is the authentic calling card of a non-conformist who was one of the first in Bolgheri to have the courage to marry international grape varieties with Tuscan Sangiovese. Satta took this revolutionary step back in 1982, two years before the Bolgheri DOC was founded, creating an archetype of the modern Bolgheri style. The speciality of this wine lies in its unconventional blend: 30% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon form the backbone, complemented by 20% Merlot and 10% each of Syrah and Pinot Noir – here lies Satta's stroke of genius – teroldego. This rare grape variety from Trentino gives the blend a unique freshness and mineral tension that clearly sets it apart from other Bolgheri wines.
The grapes come from the Torre, Vignanova, Poderini and Campastrello vineyards, where the different grape varieties are harvested by hand between the beginning of September (Merlot) and the beginning of October (Cabernet Sauvignon). Fermentation takes place in steel and concrete tanks with spontaneous yeasts – maceration is determined by frequent tastings, a luxury that Satta can afford as a small producer. After natural malolactic fermentation in November, the individual vinifications are assembled and matured for 12 months – partly in 30 hl cement barrels, partly in second and third passage barriques.
The result is an intense, ruby-red wine with lively fruit: Blackcurrant, blackberry and liquorice combine with floral notes of orange blossom and lemon zest. The palate reveals all the finesse of this exceptional cuvée – medium body, silky tannins and a crisp freshness that gives the wine remarkable energy. The characteristic Teroldego component provides the mineral depth and elegance that makes Michele Satta's wines unmistakable, even among the supposed giants of Bolgheri. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, medium ruby red colour. Initially somewhat vegetal on the nose, followed slowly by cassis and blueberry, plus liquorice and tobacco. Flattering on entry, then with opulent fruit, somewhat broad and warming on the finish." Falstaff
"Delights the nose with fruity-floral components, powerful and well-built on the palate, but also with beautiful racy acidity, finesse and length." Vinum
"The nose shines with smooth, energetic aromas of blackberry tea, pomegranate syrup, cola and earth, and the palate feels much the same, as flavours of vanilla, black cherry and chocolaty cola evoke an old-fashioned ice cream van, but spicy overtones of pepper and more earth provide a handy balance." Wine Enthusiast
"A super fragrant and polished wine with flavours of plums, black cherries, fresh violets, Mediterranean herbs, liquorice and smoke. Medium-bodied and supple, with refined tannins, crisp acidity and a structured finish. Well made." James Suckling
