Cavaliere by Michele Satta is crafted from a selection of the Sangiovese harvest. This varietal is a particular favorite of Michele's and had rarely been vinified in purity in this area before he began to do so. These grapes are harvested secondarily, after the initial harvest, which allows the bunches left on the vine to ripen further. The selected grapes are de-stemmed at 70% and crushed; spontaneous fermentation takes place in open oak barrels of 30 hl, and the maceration is carried out with the soft submersion of the cap by hand and with a daily pumping over or soft punching down, and can last a very long time. The refinement is carried out in concrete for 18 months.

CAVALIERE 2017 MICHELE SATTA: TASTING NOTES

Cavaliere by Michele Satta is a transparent and luminous ruby color. The nose alternates between fruit and aromas of Mediterranean scrub, with notes of blackberry, juniper berries, red plum, rosemary, raspberry, pine forest, and hints of the sea. In the mouth it is fresh, savory, and tasty, with lively tannins and a citrus and balsamic finish. Very good with grilled steak.
