Piastraia fully lives up to the classic image of a great and delicate Bolgheri Rosso Superiore. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and smaller portions of Merlot and Sangiovese, it fills the glass with its intense aroma of fruit and a hint of leather flavours. The flavour is powerful, concentrated and pure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very typical Bolgheri aroma with ripe red and blue fruits and a spicy terroir note. Juicy, with grippy tannins, polished, finely contoured, builds powerfully on the palate with beautiful freshness, well pervaded by the fine acidity, embraced by the firm tannins. Potential." Weinwisser

"Powerful, bright ruby colour with a slight violet tinge. Open and very accessible nose, lots of ripe berry notes, of cassis and blackberries, plus some dark tobacco, underpinned by spicy components. Very full-bodied on the palate, grippy, savoury tannins, dark fruit, very good potential, lots of pressure." Falstaff

"Intriguing aromas of red berries and flowers, also herbal and spicy notes; powerful structure, powerful yet fine-grained tannins, precise evolution, long seductive chocolate-berry finish." Vinum

"The Satta's style was always focused on elegance and detail rather than power, and this 2020 confirms it. The fruity character is more on the fresh red fruit side rather than the dark, with balsamic intensity and Mediterranean herbs. The attack is dense, with velvety tannins, mid-palate weight, and well judged oak giving a tobacco and cocoa finish. The tannins are still grainy, but it's refreshing, slightly funky on the finish and complex." Decanter

"Aromas of redcurrants, roses and fresh sage follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Now crisp and attractive." James Suckling

"Shows flavours of fresh black cherries and blackberries that are pure and expressive, accented by wild herbs, cedar, iron and spice. Dense, yet balanced and fresh, with refined tannins adorning the lingering finish." Wine Spectator

"The Michele Satta 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Piastraia is a fine and delicate wine, especially on the Bolgheri play list, which tends to offer more bloated or bigger wines. Instead, what you get here is generous fruit tones and rich layers with a slightly rejuvenated and streamlined mouthfeel that is always the signature of this producer. Michele Satta continues to endeavour to find the proverbial silver lining to Bolgheri. The wine finishes with soft cherry fruit and dark berry confit, reflecting the hot vintage. There is a nice spicy element on the finish." Wine Advocate

"The nose is earthy, herbal and sour, like drinking an elegant cocktail on the veranda of a forest hut. The palate, on the other hand, is full of cherries and plums and finishes salty and nutty, like an artisan chocolate. The tannins are firm but manageable and the acidity is strong." Wine Enthusiast
