2022 Michele Satta - Bolgheri Superiore Rosso DOC Piastraia (750ml)

Grown along Tuscany’s coastal belt where golden breezes moderate the summer heat, the 2022 Michele Satta Piastraia blends Sangiovese with Cabernet varieties to deliver a balanced, structured red that highlights the Bolgheri terroir.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Bright red currant and wild strawberry fold into darker plum, tobacco leaf, cedar shavings, and hints of fresh rosemary and wild fennel.
• Structure: Medium-full body supported by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The mid-palate shows concentrated berry compote, toasted almonds, and a subtle saline minerality that carries through to a clean, lingering finish.

Suggested Pairings

• Flame-grilled ribeye or herb-roasted chicken with lemon and olive oil
• Aged cow’s milk cheeses like Fontina or mature Pecorino Toscano
• Pasta dishes featuring sun-dried tomato, pancetta, or slow-cooked game ragù
• Seared tuna steak or herb-braised rabbit

Cellar development peaks between five and twelve years, bringing out deeper notes of cured leather, forest floor, and dried citrus. Serve slightly cooled at 60–64°F (15–18°C) and decant for thirty to forty minutes to integrate oak influence and release volatile aromatics. Keep bottles horizontally in a stable environment until opening, and enjoy within five days after pouring.
