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

"Promising bouquet of blueberries and cherries, also sandalwood, liquorice and flowers; the tannins are powdery, the acidity skilfully integrated, combines race, juiciness and a lot of melting and at the same time not at all pretentious, but very drinkable." Vinum

"Dark and full ruby colour. Open, elegant bouquet of blackberry, underlaid with spicy notes of liquorice, leather and undergrowth. Powerful on the palate, round, juicy and easy to drink. The tannins are well integrated, retronasal black cherry and chocolate, long final." Falstaff

"A firm and compact red wine that shows walnuts, dried herbs, loam, black fruit and cedar on the nose. It is full-bodied, polished and compact, with firm but fine-grained tannins. Roasted walnut notes on the long finish." James Suckling

"The Piastraia 2021 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. It is a great example of where the house style is heading under the direction of Giacomo Satta. The Syrah has disappeared from the blend, and yet the wine offers plenty of textural depth and energy. Dark red cherries, spices, new leather, rose petals and dried flowers gradually open up in the glass. This is beautifully made." Vinous

"The 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Piastraia shows great balance with an overall restrained personality that harkens back to a classic interpretation of Bolgheri you might have seen a decade or more ago. The wine offers just enough blackcurrant and cherry to keep you wanting more. There are also pencil shavings and a hint of savoury spice." Wine Advocate

"The core flavours of blackcurrant, black cherry and pomegranate are overlaid with notes of mint, violet, iron and toasted oak. This red wine is dense and rich, with a matrix of polished tannins in support. The balance and finish are outstanding." Wine Spectator
