Mastering Grechetto wines
The Mottura Estate occupies 130 hectares in an area rich in natural resources, bordered to the west by the gentle hills and clay canyons of Civitella d’Agliano, and to the east by the Tiber valley stretching into Umbria.
Wine has been made here for centuries: a document dating from 1292 in the Orvieto city archives names these hills as being among the very best for the production of Orvieto wine. Close to both Rome and Florence, but untouched by any large-scale urbanization, it is an area that still possesses an unsullied and breathtaking natural beauty, dotted with woods, lakes and streams.
ORGANIC WINEMAKING
We farm our estate with the greatest possible respect and care for the environment and pride ourselves on making responsible use of natural resourses.
We have chosen the porcupine as our logo precisely because this shy picky animal is only to be found on healthy unpolluted land, and its presence on the Mottura estate is a source of great pride. Our vineyards are also home to ‘friendly’ insects such as the ladybird – unmistakable sign of a healthy ecosystem.
