The yeasts are exclusively spontaneous. After two to three days of open pump-over, only one pump-over per day is carried out closed. With frequent tastings, the moment of racking is carefully chosen (usually after about 20 days), after which the wine goes directly into barriques to carry out malolactic fermentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMaturation in French barriques with 40% new wood for a time between 12 and 18 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the Michele Satta 2023 Bolgheri Superiore Piastraia is fermented and aged in barrique, with 40% new oak.
