Fabio Motta's story is a winemaker’s dream fulfilled. After years of working alongside renowned Bolgheri producer—and now father-in-law—Michele Satta, Fabio founded his own estate in 2009, acquiring 4 hectares of vines first planted in 1997. Nestled in the heart of the Bolgheri DOC, his vineyards enjoy a prime position: sun-drenched slopes with a southwesterly exposure, perched between the rolling Tuscan hills and the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea. From the beginning, Fabio's wines have expressed the soul of Bolgheri — its elegance, its structure, and its natural beauty. His approach in the cellar is one of minimal intervention, relying on native yeasts, no filtration, and a deep respect for the individuality of each vintage. The result is a range of wines defined not by force, but by finesse, balance, and layered complexity. In 2015, Fabio began converting his vineyards to biodynamic farming.

Fabio Motta Lo Scudiere 2021
13.5% abv
Dark fruit, plump and silken with hints of olive and scorched earth, cedar, spicy tobacco and dried rose.
100% Sangiovese selected from the Pieve vineyard. Fermented in concrete and aged in 30hl conical oak for 1 year, with and a small percent in used barriques. A rare Bolgheri Sangiovese – where the variety makes up only 1% of plantings. It’s a wine that stands in contrast to the bold Brunello/Chianti stereotype—more graceful power than brute force. inspired by Fabios time with his father-in-law Michele Satta, whose Bogheri Sangiovese is one of the very best.
Gambero Rosso call Fabio “one of Bolgheri’s most interesting young winemakers,” praising Lo Scudiere as a “pure Sangiovese… complex and multifaceted” with textbook structure and character
