Miché Frizzante Metodo Ancestrale

Description

Sparkling rosé made using the ancestral method, 10.5% ABV, produced by Michele Satta in Tuscany. Blend: 100% Sangiovese. 0.75L bottle. A wine born from the passion of Michele Satta, who has been producing wines that express the Bolgheri region since 1983. The grapes are hand-picked and pressed whole bunches. After a few days of static decantation at 5°C, the wine is racked and inoculated for fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation is interrupted with a few grams of residual sugar to allow for secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine, crown-corked, does not undergo disgorgement. It ages in the bottle for 6 months before being released for sale. Its perlage is rich and persistent. On the nose, it offers aromas of red fruits such as strawberry and cherry, accompanied by pastry and floral notes. On the palate, the wine is very fresh and light.

My arrival in Castagneto Carducci is "coincidental." I came from Varese, and I was on vacation with my dad, an engineer, Sardinian surname and chromosomes, and my mother, a teacher, when I received a job offer from the owner of a local farm. I had just enrolled at the University of Agriculture of Milan (I graduated four years later in Pisa) and immediately with my first internship in October 74, I started with the harvest! My job was cleaning, serving the most humble tasks, watching and more watching, studying and working.

I learned many aspects of agriculture, I learned that the land becomes hard when the wind blows; that there will be bad weather when the swallows fly low. I learned the cycle of the plant and why in certain areas of the field, plants struggle and in others, they do not. I learned that the peasant culture is an immense patrimony of unity with nature and patient respect of reality.

I decided to ride the wave of a boundless passion to start my own business and I took some old vines and their old cellar for rent. In the '83 the first harvest, and from that day on, a story that has grown step-by-step with the history of Bolgheri (1984 is the year of foundation of the Bolgheri DOC). I planted my first vineyard in ‘91 and then purchased the land that I could and I felt right to be able to make wine, from the grapes I had planted and produce my own bottles. In those years my experience grew not only of the land but also of the international wine culture, and I began travelling abroad. This widened knowledge and comparisons.

My wife Lucia joined me in this adventure and, along with the company's history, shared with me 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 passionat, are personally part of this company: on the path of tradition while looking at the new, the journey of the second generation begins! Read more
