Wine Maker Focus - Michele Satta

SWC: As a wine producer and family man have you found it easy or difficult in juggling your time between the two?

MS: It is not easy, but in my experience to be husband and father and then to be wine producer stay altogether in being truly myself in front of every fact.

SWC: As a family run estate how do you see the future of your wines and estate? Are your children involved and do you think they will continue in your foot steps?

MS: I think that quality wine will be more and more precious and important if it will be the result of a family work.
For the time being my daughters and my son are still studying but they take part in life of the estate.

SWC: Bolgheri has a famous cult status now with many of Tuscany’s most famous wines and wineries growing and planting in the area. Why do you think this is?

MS: One reason is the extraordinary quality of the terroir, but a second reason is the presence of great wine producers who make the culture of quality easier.

SWC: Having now produced such a fantastic range of red wines and white, where now for the famous wine maker Michele Satta?

MS: I hope to learn on how to make great wines until the last day. My next goal is a Red Vinsanto.

SWC: If there was one thing that you could change about the wine industry in general what would it be?

MS: A clear distinction between industrial or commercial wines and direct wine producers even if of small dimensions.

SWC: Can you describe your wine for us in 3 words?

MS: Genuine, elegant and structured wines.
