Fabio Motta, in the footsteps of his father-in-law, Michele Satta, is making his own 100% Sangiovese in Bolgheri called Lo Scudiere ('the squire') - a tribute to Satta's Il Cavaliere ('the knight'). The winemaking is ambitious, with oak fermented grapes of which one-third are whole-bunch. The wine is fully juicy, focused on cherry fruit, black pepper and chalk minerality in depth. Lean in comparison to the typical Bordeaux blend, it's firm and super-refreshing. It shows a slightly dry finish and a lack of weight, but would be nice paired with a dish of game.
