Description
What kind of wine it is
Miché Frizzante Metodo Ancestrale by Michele Satta is a lively pale rosé wine made from Sangiovese grapes. Crafted using the ancestral method, it offers a rich and persistent perlage in the glass. The bouquet opens with fragrant notes of red fruits, dominated by strawberry and cherry, accompanied by subtle floral hints and delicate pastry notes. On the palate, it reveals a fresh and light structure, ensuring a smooth and highly enjoyable tasting experience.
Where it comes from
This rosé originates in Bolgheri, a region of Tuscany that Michele Satta interprets with deep dedication. The coastal vineyards provide optimal conditions for the full aromatic expression of the grapes. The manual harvest allows the Sangiovese to retain the lively acidity ideal for the formation of bubbles. This Tuscan origin delivers an authentic glass, capable of enhancing the fruit and ensuring a slender and elegant profile.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with whole cluster pressing and static cold settling. Fermentation in steel is interrupted to preserve the sugars needed to trigger the natural refermentation in the bottle. The wine then matures for six months on its own lees and is released without disgorgement, retaining the characteristic natural sediment that enriches both its drinkability and structure.
History and Curiosities
Born from Michele Satta's dedication to the Bolgheri region, this lively wine tells a fascinating story. The pure Sangiovese grapes, once destined for summer thinning, are now hand-picked at the end of August to create a genuine ancestral method rosé. After a gentle whole-bunch pressing and partial fermentation in steel, the wine naturally referments in the bottle, maturing for six months on its own lees without disgorgement. The result is an incredibly fresh and enjoyable artisanal sparkling wine.

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
