When Fabio Motta, originally from Lombardia, began working the vineyards of Bolgheri as a student of agronomy, he did not know he would fall in love, twice. His work brought him to apprentice with the legendary Michele Satta, one of the icons of Bolgheri winemaking. Fabio’s work with Michele nurtured a love for this coastal Tuscan region, and also introduced Fabio to Michele’s daughter Benedetta, with whom he fell in love and married. In 2009 he was able to embark on his own project with the acquisition of 4 hectares of vines in the Bolgheri DOC. Today he is widely respected among the best small producers in Bolgheri. The vineyards are biodynamically farmed and the approach in the cellar is hands off, with natural yeasts for fermentations, with extraction and maceration carefully and respectfully managed.
