Giacomo Satta continues the great work of his father Michele, who first started to vinify pure Viognier in Bolgheri 24 years ago. The wine opens with a captivating aroma of white peach and light notes of quince and honey, leading to a structured and creamy palate with sapid, mineral length. Ideal with spicy seafood dishes. After a soft pressing, it ferments in wooden barrels and ages for 18 months in 750-litre amphorae. All grapes are handpicked in the Vignanova vineyard.

Attractive aromas of ripe pears and white peaches with dried sage, walnuts and crushed stone undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, fresh and juicy with clean acidity cutting through. Crisp. Notes of citrus blossom and lemon pith with a mineral finish.

Michele Satta is one of Italy's biggest ambassadors for the Viognier grape that he pretty much single-handedly brought to this part of the Tuscan Coast. His 2022 Giovin Re is immediately generous and rich with honey, baked apple, a note of spicy saffron and an elegant mineral note at the back. The acidity is very nice with tart lemon and white currant that dovetails into the wine's very silky finish. The wine is aged in a combination of barrique, amphorae and cement. Production is limited to 4,000 bottles. This vintage is especially delicious.
