Fabio Motta Le Piece Bolgheri Rosso 2023

One of the hottest names in Tuscany today is Fabio Motta – a man who used to be known as the son-in-law of the famed Michele Satta – but that’s not really the full story. Fabio had already earned his degree in agriculture when he first began working harvests in Tuscany back in 2001.

His early labors were modest, despite his education, he primarily cleaned and watched and learned (and watched and learned). But by 2005, he had been tapped by one of Bolgheri’s elite, Michele Satta – increasingly earning his trust for larger and larger roles.

So much so that in 2009 Fabio married his mentor’s daughter and the ‘dowry’ would be nothing short of breathtaking. His father-in-law held the lease on a very special though modest-in-size vineyard, which he entrusted to his new son-in-law.

Fabio released his first vintage (the 2010) to much fanfare – almost immediately cementing his stature among the latest crop of up-and-comers in Tuscany’s already rich wine scene. These biodynamic wines are phenomenal – always striking amazing balance between finesse and power.
