"This is an unusual blend of Syrah and Sangiovese, two opposite grapes that complement each other in an unusual fashion. The Michele Satta 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Marianova shows the hot-vintage intensity of Syrah with dark cherry, spice and crushed pepper. In fact, the normal Syrah bottling was not produced in this vintage, and the fruit was directed to this wine instead. Sangiovese kicks in with wild, lighter red-fruit aromas of raspberry and wild cherry. Those aromas follow up with a pinch of acidity. The wine shows moderate intensity on the close and a short mid-palate. This gives the wine a less formal and accessible style."

A really fine, creamy red with blackberries and dark chocolate. Medium to full body, round juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Solid and focused. Needs time to soften. Better after 2022.

"The 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Marianova is a blend of the estate’s best Sangiovese and Syrah. An intriguing wine, the 2017 offers plenty of character and structure. Dark red cherry fruit, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and dried herbs all open in the glass, adding layers of nuance. Today, the 2017 is decidedly potent and brooding. It will surely benefit from another few years in the cellar, which will help the tannins soften."
