Bolgheri DOC Superiore – Piastraia 2022 – Michele Satta

A Bolgheri DOC Superiore crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, each vinified separately with spontaneous fermentation. 

Since 2019, Syrah is no longer part of the blend.

Aged in 40% new French oak barriques for 12 to 18 months.

Brilliant ruby red in the glass, it offers an intense bouquet of rose, red berries, raspberry, and mulberry, with herbal nuances, light balsamic hints, and tobacco leaf, all set against a Mediterranean scrub backdrop.

On the palate, it’s smooth and full-bodied, with a rich aromatic intensity that mirrors the nose. 

Fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins emerge in the second half of the sip, lingering into a long finish with a subtle saline touch.

Well-balanced and enjoyable, though still young, with great aging potential.
