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.

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
'Marianova' by Michele Satta is made as first experience of the second generation of Satta, a blend of equal parts of the best Syrah and Sangiovese grapes.

THE COMPANY
The company was founded in 1983, the year before the foundation of the Bolgheri DOC, of which, in fact, I was among its first protagonists.
In 1987, after an initial unstable period (due to leasing and rental issues) I finally formed the initial core of the company; I purchased the best available land and built my cellar.
In 1991 I planted my first vineyard with the consciousness of wanting to produce a wine that could be faithful to the wake created by Sassicaia and Ornellaia, but also to my personal vision and experience of the vineyard. Hence, the need to plant alongside the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, grapes that I thought could express even better the Bolgheri Mediterranean terroir; Sangiovese and Syrah.
The result was Piastraia that with harvest 2012 and after more than 15 years of its first bottling (the first label dates to 1994), was promoted with the mention "Bolgheri Superiore". So this wine is placed in the short but illustrious history of Bolgheri, not only as a pioneer, but as my conscious identity of the denomination.
Besides Piastraia and the Bolgheri classics, including the other Superiore "I Castagni" cru of the vineyard bearing the same name, I decided to produce wines purely expressing their individual grape varieties: "Cavaliere", 100% Sangiovese; "Syrah" 100% Syrah and "Giovin Re", 100% Viognier.
Definitely, countertrend, I gained the reputation of being an original wine producer in Bolgheri, and that of an explorer. I was the first to bring Syrah, Teroldego and Viognier to this land and to vinify wines 100% Vermentino and 100% Sangiovese.
What is most important for me, it is to express the uniqueness of this fascinating product that comes from a very specific region, from a specific vineyard and from a man who is connected with them.
In this family company, with a stable size of 23 hectares, currently I produce 150,000 bottles obtained from our own grapes.
