In the stunning setting of Tuscany, specifically among the golden vineyards of Bolgheri, the winery Michele Satta stands as a pioneer of authentic and innovative wine expression. From the very beginning, Michele Satta has pursued a dream: to create wines that embody the soul of the territory, respecting tradition while looking towards the future. With a handcrafted and personal approach, Satta has carved out a significant space in the Tuscan wine scene, establishing itself as one of the first producers in Bolgheri to experiment beyond classic boundaries.
The vineyards, caressed by the sea breeze and kissed by the sun, provide fertile ground for grape varieties that tell stories of passion and dedication. Among these, Sangiovese, Syrah, and Teroldego find in the winery of Michele Satta a privileged stage to express their unique potential. Respect for the land and natural cycles guides every stage of production, from the careful cultivation of the grapes to the creation of wines that challenge conventions.
Among the standout labels, Piastraia and Cavaliere shine for their personality and complexity. Piastraia, with its refined structure, enchants with intense aromas and a taste depth that evolves over time, while Cavaliere seduces with its elegance and harmonious blend of fruity and spicy notes. These wines not only celebrate the peculiarities of the Bolgheri terroir but also represent the pinnacle of Michele Satta's winemaking art, an art that knows how to evoke emotions and surprise.

THE WINE
The 'Marianova' by Michele Satta was born as the first experience of the second generation Satta, a blend of equal parts of the best Syrah and Sangiovese grapes. From the Vignanova vineyard, it is the first Bolgheri Superiore that does not include any Bordeaux grapes in the blend. Vinified in wooden barrels, fermented in barriques, and aged for 18 months in 750-liter amphorae. Only 600 bottles, a rarity.
THE COMPANY
The company was founded in 1983, the year before the establishment of the Bolgheri DOC, in which I was, in fact, one of its first protagonists.
After a precarious initial period, linked to fractional leases, in 1987 I finally managed to establish the first core of the company with the purchase of the best available land and the construction of the winery.
In 1991 I planted my first vineyard with the awareness of wanting to produce a wine that could be faithful to the trail traced by Sassicaia and Ornellaia, but also to my personal vision and experience of the vineyard. Hence the need to pair Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with the grapes I believed could express the Mediterranean terroir of Bolgheri even better: Sangiovese and Syrah.
Thus Piastraia was born, which with the 2012 harvest, after more than 15 years from the first bottling (the first label is from 1994), we promote to the mention “Bolgheri Superiore”. This wine is therefore placed in the short but prestigious history of Bolgheri not only as a pioneer but as my conscious identity of the denomination.
In addition to Piastraia and the classic Bolgheri, including the other Superiore “I Castagni”, a cru from the homonymous vineyard, I decided to produce wines that are the expression of single grape varieties: “Cavaliere”, 100% Sangiovese; “Syrah” 100% Syrah and “Giovin Re”, 100% Viognier.
Certainly counter-trend, I have gained a reputation as an original producer in Bolgheri, but also as an explorer. I was the first to bring Syrah, Teroldego, Viognier to this land, to vinify Vermentino and Sangiovese in purity.
What matters most to me is to express the uniqueness of this fascinating product that arises from a specific territory, from a specific vineyard, and from a man who relates to them.
In the family-run company, with a stable size of 23 hectares, I currently produce 150,000 bottles obtained entirely from my own grape production.
