Bolgheri is the Beverly Hills of Italy, the high rent district, and one of the most sought-after appellations in Tuscany. It's where you find Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Masseto. In fact, Michele Satta started his own winery in 1982 with newly acquired vines from his previous employer, Ornellaia! A blend of native Sangiovese, combined with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot crafts an Italian wine expressing complex cherry, plum, and spice tones on a backbone of leather, black pepper, and almonds. Aged 18 months in barrique then another 24 months in bottle, there is a depth and elegance to Piastraia that you only see in $200+ Super Tuscans. #18 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2024, we only have 10 cases available. Don't miss it!
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
"The core flavors of black currant, black cherry and pomegranate are shaded by mint, violet, iron and toasty oak notes in this dense, rich red, with a matrix of polished tannins for support. The balance is excellent, as is the aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2040. #18 Top 100 of 2024." The Wine Spectator, 95 Points

"The Michele Satta 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Piastraia is 30% Merlot, 10% Syrah, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Sangiovese all aged in barrique for 18 months. The wine offers a quick note of sweetness with exotic spice mixed in with dark fruit and plum. There is a mild hint of green herb at the end. This is a pretty medium to full-bodied red that offers good freshness and never feels over-extracted. 2023 - 2038." The Wine Advocate, 94 Points
James Suckling: 94 Points
"A firm and composed red showing walnuts, dried herbs, clay, black fruit and cedar on the nose. It’s full-bodied, polished and compact, with firm yet fine-grained tannins. Toasted walnut character on a long finish. Drink from 2025." James Suckling, 94 Points
