In a blend like this from such a hot vintage, the first variety you notice is the Syrah, with the freshness later supplied by the Sangiovese. Add in the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and what you have with the 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Piastraia is a luminous wine filled with life. The fruit is sourced from across Michele Satta’s vineyard sites. Production is 30,000 bottles.

Concentrated and framed by toasty oak detail, this red offers black currant, plum, spice and leafy tobacco flavors. Dusty tannins line the finish. Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet and Syrah. Best from 2020 through 2027. 2,500 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Bolgheri Select to Add
