Description
Michele Satta is one of the founding fathers of the Bolgheri DOC alongside Tenuta San Guido, Antinori and Ornelleia. However, unlike the more famous names and despite the meteoric rise of the region they have remained a boutique, terroir driven winery that produces some of the best value fine wines in Italy. Satta concentrate more on mediterranean varieties with Sangiovese and Syrah taking the lead on their wines with smaller proportions of Cabernet and Merlot. The Bolgheri Rosso is a delightful blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet supported by Merlot, Syrah and a dash of Teroldego giving a wine that is vibrant and juicy with dark cherry, sweet spice and hints of mocha. Classy and understated, this is such a joy to drink and brings all the warmth of the Tuscan coast in a glass.
The Bolgheri Rosso comes from densely planted vineyards which naturally curtail the vigour of the vine. After a manual harvest, the perfectly ripe grapes are fermented with natural yeasts and receive regular punching down. Following fermentation the wine rests in barrel for 12 months with a further 6 months in bottle prior to release.

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
