The Mottura family is originally from the Piemonte region of Italy, where there is a village bearing the Mottura name close to Turin. Here, traces of the family can be found dating back to the early 1500s. Sergio’s uncle, Alessandro, bought Civitella d’Agliano in 1933, the large estate the family now owns. At the age of 20, Sergio took on the management of the family farm and moved from Turin to Civitella, where he has remained ever since. The Maottura estate grows vines, olives and various grains and has an ‘agriturismo’ hotel (La Tana dell’Istrice or The Porcupine’s Lair) where guests can enjoy the farm produce and the farm’s celebrated wines. Sergio is committed to organic farming and crafting small-scale, handcrafted wines using traditional local grape varieties. The Magone Vineyard is a hi-denisty planting begun in 1962. In 1980 it was re-grafted to Pinot Noir and the first Pinot Noir was released in 1990. The wines are 100% Pinot Noir
