Fabio Motta Lo Scudiere 2019

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

100% Sangiovese selected from the Pieve vineyard. Around 25% of the fruit is whole bunch, wine is fermented in 30hl concial oak before sging takes place for 1 year in used barriques.

“In honor of his father-in-law, Michele Satta, who is credited for elevating Sangiovese in Bolgheri, Fabio Motto makes his own interpretation. His 2019 Sangiovese Lo Scudiere is redolent of dark fruit mixed with hints of scorched earth, cedar, spicy tobacco and dried rose. The effect is simple, and although you don’t get the same vertical lift or complexity as you might expect from Sangiovese further inland, the richer soils of Bolgheri that were once home to fruit orchards can work with the finicky variety. That said, Sangiovese represents only one percent of the total planting in the appellation. This wine is made with 25% whole cluster and is aged in 30-hectoliter truncated cone vats for one year. Some 3,300 bottles were produced.”2022 – 2030

This is the story of one man’s dream come true, Fabio Motta, who founded the winery in 2009 with the acquisition of 4 hectares of vines planted in 1997 within the Bolgheri DOC. The position is excellent: overlooking the sea, at the feet of the characteristic rolling hills of Bolgheri, with southwestern exposure. No newcomer to Bolgheri, Fabio has worked for many years with esteemed Bolgheri producer Michele Satta, who is also his father-in-law.

Fabio’s wines respect and reflect the characteristic traits of the Bolgheri terroir, interpreted within the unique frame of each vintage. In the cellar, Fabio works in a simple way, following his philosophy of “non-interference,” using natural yeasts and no filtering, crafting wines which excel in elegance and complexity rather than power and concentration.

In 2015 Fabio started converting his vineyards into biodynamic.
