Michele Satta estate was created in 1984 when Michele decided to leave his previous occupation of farm management. Instinct told him that he should aspire to the highest level in the field of wine and the moment he met Attilio Pagli he knew he was destined to become a wine grower. He planted his first experimental vineyard in 1991 with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These two grape varieties show great expression and character in the area of Bolgheri, while Sangiovese is his favourite variety. At the same time he also decided to experiment with the potential for Syrah. Then in rapid succession he bought other adjoining vineyards so that he now has a total of 25 hectares, planted with vines which all express the great potential of this area. He enlarged his cellar to the size it is today, exscavated into the rock and built underneath the hill below his vineyards.
His wife Lucia joined him in this adventure and, along with the company's history, shared with Michele the growth of a beautiful and large family: infact six children were born, five daughters and one son. Now two of them, Giacomo and Benedetta, curious and passionate, are personally part of this company: on the path of tradition while looking at the new, the journey of the second generation begins! Thus the story of the second generation of Sattas began, with a company organization that still focuses predominantly on working together as a family and in which each member brings their own personal experience and professional skills, but especially their passion for making something that is unique, a real one-off product that derives from the vineyard and its encounter with man.
