Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This pretty Bolgheri Rosso has an intense ruby red color with intense and fresh notes of red and black fruit with perceptions of scents of leather and tobacco. The palate is wonderfully harmonious and accessible, fresh fruity with a solid backbone of tannin, finishing with persistence and elegance.

Pair with main dishes featuring red meat, white meats, meat or mushroom-based pasta or rice dishes.


Blend: Sangiovese 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Merlot 20%, Syrah 10%, Teroldego 10%

Professional Ratings

  • 91

    Spiced plums, cherries, white pepper, orange peel and Mediterranean herbs on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied palate with a tight, tannic structure that grows together with the juicy fruit.

  • 91
    Delivers black currant, blackberry and licorice flavors accented by spices and leafy, vegetal notes, which are offset by burly tannins that leave an astringent finish. Needs time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot, Teroldego and Syrah. Best from 2024 through 2030.

Michele Satta Michele Satta Vine Winery Image

In 1982 Michele started his own winery, one of the first in Bolgheri, withnewly acquired vines from his previous employer. In this famous region ofTuscany, Michele rapidly earned respect and became known quickly as a vigneron. Michele even worked as a consultant for other properties in the early 1990s, including Ornellaia at which time Michele planted many of their vineyards. Michele has always been the local expert on the great terroir of Bolgheri and this is why his wines have been so well regarded in Italy.

Michele is a father of six (an example of his traditional roots), a farmer and a winemaker. He is an uncomplicated, sincere and humble man with very clear priorities; family and vines. While he is a traditionalist, he is also a non-conformist. This deferential character, when combined with a deep dedication to perfection, balance in the vineyards and great attention to detail in the cellar, produces Bolgheri wines that communicate the amazing uniqueness of this man and his terroir. Walking with giants is no easy feat, unless you are Michele Satta.

Disenchanted with Italian winemaking laws in the 1970s, a few rebellious Tuscan winemakers decided to get creative. Instead of following tradition, to bottle Sangiovese by itself, they started blending it with international varieties, namely Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah in differing proportions and with amazing success. However, some Tuscan Blends don’t even include Sangiovese. Somm Secret—The suffix –aia in Italian modifies a word in much the same way –y acts in English. For example, a place with many stones (sassi) becomes Sassicaia. While not all Super Tuscan producer names end in –aia, they all share a certain coy nomenclature.

An outstanding wine region made famous by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who planted Cabernet Sauvignon vines for his own consumption in 1940s on his San Guido estate, and called the resulting wine, Sassicaia. Today the region’s Tuscan reds are based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which can be made as single varietal wines or blends. The local Sangiovese can make up no more than 50% of the blends. Today Sassicaia has its own DOC designation within the Bogheri DOC appellation.
