Satta Michele

This winery was founded in 1984 by Michele Satta. After a few ups and downs, he established himself at the top of the Maremma producers. The Maremma area (near Grosseto), with its calcareous soils and vineyards facing the sea, has a great potential for quality. The area has gained world fame thanks to the Sassicaia. In 1993 Michele Satta started an experiment and planted Cabernet and Merlot, and soon Syrah vines followed on about 7 hectares. These varieties are vinified separately and later used to make the famous Piastraia or the new Bolgheri DOC. Meanwhile the winery covers 25 hectares of vineyards.
