The engineer Massimo Piccin, from Veneto, decided at 30 years old to quit his job for pursuing a dream: producing a wine, a wine where he could pour all his character, in a place that he could feel part of himself, for a project of life. And so in 1999 Massimo acquired an estate nestled in the heart of the Bolgheri wine region along the Tuscan coast, that would give the name to this new project: Sapaio.
With a passion for winemaking deeply rooted in his family’s heritage, the visionary behind Sapaio Winery, embarked on his journey to create exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of Bolgheri.
At Sapaio Winery, Massimo’s dedication to quality and innovation is evident in every bottle. Through meticulous vineyard management and a commitment to sustainable practices, he cultivates grapes of exceptional character and intensity. This dedication extends to the winemaking process, where modern techniques and traditional methods are harmoniously blended to craft wines of remarkable depth and complexity.
One of the flagship wines of Sapaio Winery is their Sapaio Bolgheri Superiore. This iconic blend captures the essence of Bolgheri terroir, with rich layers of dark fruit, spice, and velvety tannins. It’s a wine that embodies Massimo’s vision of excellence and continues to garner acclaim from wine enthusiasts around the world.
In every sip of Sapaio wine, you’ll taste Massimo’s unwavering commitment to quality and his profound respect for the land. It’s a testament to his passion and dedication to creating wines that truly stand out in the world of Italian winemaking.
