Fabio Motta Le Gonnare Bolgheri Rosso Superiore 2020

13.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

A toned and mineral blend of racy Merlot & Cabernet. Dark fruits and granite alongside sculpted aromas of mediterranean flowers and herbs.

“The Fabio Motta 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Le Gonnare is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine holds back just a hair in terms of structure and mouthfeel, and the bouquet is colored with black fruits, sweet cedar, spice and a touch of grilled rosemary. It shows initial restraint and needs more bottle time. This is rich on the palate, with some sanguine or rusty notes that add a touch of saltiness to the finish. Winemaking starts off in cement vats and ages in barrique (with just 25% new oak).” 2024 – 2033
93 Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate, Feb 2024

The grapes are harvested in small baskets, they come entirely destemmed and pressed. Ferment as always with natural yeasts in tanks of non-vitrified cement, paying particular attention to maceration times. After the natural malolactic fermentation it goes into barriques of which 25% are new, preferring light toasted. Here it ages for 18 months and after the appropriate filtrations it is ready at bottling. Remains in the bottle for at least 1 year.

Purchased in 2012 this small vineyard has soil is rich in clay and stones that allows a gradual ripening. This is rare and significant, especially for Merlot grapes. The character of the wine is mediterranean but very balanced.

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.
