Michele Satta

The winery Michele Satta is one of the most representative of the area of Bolgheri, but its birth happened in a completely random way. In 1974, Michele Satta, a student of Agriculture at the University of Milan, was on holiday on the Tuscan coast, near Castagneto Carducci. During this stay, he met the owner of a farm who offered him an internship during the harvest. This is how his passion for viticulture was born. After graduation, Michele started looking for land to rent to start a wine business and found old vineyards with an adjoining cellar, which became the basis for an adventure that would lead him to produce some of the best known labels in Bolgheri. The project was officially launched in 1983, one year before the creation of the DOC Bolgheri. Towards the end of the 80s, Michele bought his first land and planted his first vineyard in areas he considered particularly suitable, also starting the construction of the cellar. During this period, he undertook several trips to the main wine regions of the world, which enriched his experience and expanded his knowledge. Today, the winery covers 23 hectares of land, with an annual production of about 150,000 bottles. Name and address producer/distributor: Cantina Michele Satta - Via Casone Ugolino, 23 - Castagneto Carducci (LI). The products of this cellar should be stored in a cool and dry place away from heat sources.
