ProducerMichele Satta

Michele Satta is one of the founders of Bolgheri DOC over twenty years ago, alongside Tenuta San Guido, Ornellaia, and the Antinori family. However, despite their importance to the meteoric rise of the region, they have remained a boutique, terroir-driven producer that continues to push the boundaries of Italian fine wine. Unlike better-known names, Satta focuses on Mediterranean varieties – particularly Sangiovese and Syrah – alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Today, Michele’s son Giacomo heads the Estate, producing wine with a “fierce spirit of independence” according to Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate.
