Medium-bodied with a well-integrated acidity that brings vibrancy. The flavours evolve over time, showcasing ripe stone fruit, citrus zest and a distinct saline minerality. The finish is elegant, with a light touch of almond and that gentle, lingering salinity. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, grilled vegetables, or herb-roasted chicken, complementing its refreshing acidity and minerality.
The Costa di Giulia vineyards, situated in Bolgheri, benefit from the region's Mediterranean climate, with soils enriched by the nearby sea breeze. The terroir lends the wine both minerality and freshness, essential to this unique Bolgheri white blend of 70% Vermentino and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested in early to mid-September. After gentle pressing, the must is naturally decanted at cool temperatures and then fermented at a low temperature, preserving its aromatic expression. The wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for several months to enhance depth and texture before spring bottling.
Michele Satta is one of the founders of Bolgheri DOC, alongside Tenuta San Guido, Ornellaia, and the Antinori family. Amongst these illustrious neighbours, the Satta family has remained a boutique, terroir-driven producer. Today, Michele's son Giacomo heads the estate, one of the leading lights of a new generation of Italian winemakers, producing wine with a "fierce spirit of independence" according to Monica Larner of the Wine Advocate
