Motta Fabio
Fabio Motta undoubtedly represents the new and young face of the renowned wine area of Bolgheri, in the province of Livorno. Of Brianza origins, he promptly graduates in Agriculture to follow his dream of becoming a contemporary winemaker and gains his experience during 5 years spent serving Michele Satta, an eccentric vigneron from Varese who has been celebrating the Bolgherese universe with respect and elegance since the 1980s, focusing his winemaking work on the cult of the vineyard and reasoned agriculture, aimed at obtaining perfectly healthy grapes and vinifications strongly linked to the quality of his grapes. Here Fabio learns every secret and technique from Michele, but above all, he gains the awareness that man must serve nature to succeed in bottling high-level labels that faithfully express their terroir of origin.
Humility and passion are the foundation of Fabio Motta's work, a winemaker in Bolgheri, who, with obedience to the land, manages to listen to it and know how to wait for it, accommodating the territory where cultivates, its climate and its characteristics to be able to transport this universe into a glass. Here, the Bolgherese area is naturally predisposed to the creation of great labels, mainly due to the effect of the refraction of sunlight through the sea water that floods the coastal vineyards with more light than usual. The warm and brackish marine currents gently dry the rows, limiting the proliferation of fungal diseases and favoring the natural, substantial ripening of the grapes.
Fabio Motta's winery therefore processes the great grapes of the Livorno coast area, mainly imported during the last century by drawing heavily from the Bordeaux model, which in this area takes on more Mediterranean details compared to the canonical oceanic influences. There is a proliferation of international grape varieties assembled by Fabio based on the vineyards of origin that are cultivated biodynamically, as in the case of Bolgheri Rosso "Pievi", where there is also a significant portion of Sangiovese. However, it is placed in parallel to the the flagship bottle of the winery, namely the Bolgheri Rosso "Le Gonnare", based on Merlot and Syrah that perfectly conveys the spirit of this enterprising winemaker, who makes balance and Mediterranean character his signature.
