A restrained wine with aromas of eucalyptus, milk, mint, cedar and Mediterranean herbs. Full-bodied with velvety, ripe and elegant tannins. A lot of meatiness on the palate, with a tobacco aftertaste. Freshness up to the meaty and savory finish. Cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. It will be released in 2026. Try it then.

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the Michele Satta 2023 Bolgheri Superiore Piastraia is fermented and aged in barrique, with 40% new oak. This marks the first vintage of Piastraia produced without Sangiovese in the blend, signaling a notable stylistic evolution for the wine. The 2023 release (with a total of 26,000 bottles) shows sweet fruit notes of blackberry preserves backed by lightly integrated spice and smoke. Delivering terrific balance and poise, this wine represents a confident and successful effort from one of Bolgheri’s founding winemakers.
