This Friday, September 4, join us at GVINO W**e Bar for First Friday as we showcase one of Central Italy’s most distinctive white-w**e producers: Sergio Mottura.
Located in Civitella d’Agliano, in the beautiful Tuscia countryside near Orvieto, the Mottura estate has been in the family since 1933. Remarkably, documents from the Orvieto city archives dating back to 1292 already identified this area as exceptional land for producing w**e. Sergio Mottura became an important champion of indigenous Italian varieties, particularly Grechetto, helping renew interest in a grape that today defines some of the estate’s greatest w**es. The family farms its 120-hectare property with a deep respect for biodiversity and organic agriculture, the reason the porcupine, an animal associated with an uncontaminated environment, became the w**ery's distinctive symbol.
For First Friday, we will pour three w**es that show three very different expressions of the Mottura estate, moving from bright and refreshing Orvieto to a remarkably complex, age-worthy expression of Grechetto.
FIRST FRIDAY FLIGHT — $32
Three 3 oz. pours | Available All Day
2024 Sergio Mottura Orvieto DOC
50% Grechetto • 50% Procanico
Fresh, fragrant and immediately inviting, with delicate orchard and citrus fruit, subtle floral character and a distinctly savory, mineral finish. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this is Mottura's pure, vibrant expression of traditional Orvieto.
2025 Sergio Mottura Orvieto “Tragugnano” DOC
50% Grechetto • 50% Procanico
A more refined and concentrated expression of Orvieto, produced from a selection of the estate's best Grechetto and Procanico, typically coming from older, ideally exposed vineyards. Expect white fruit, aromatic herbs, freshness and pronounced savory minerality, followed by an impressively persistent finish.
2023 Sergio Mottura “La Torre a Civitella” Grechetto IGT
100% Grechetto
The culmination of the flight. Produced from the estate's three oldest vineyards, planted between 1970 and 1980, La Torre undergoes fermentation partly in barrique followed by nine months in barrel, additional aging in steel on the fine lees and bottle maturation. Rich and elegant, with white fruit, hazelnut and subtle toasted complexity, a round, velvety texture and a long, gently tannic finish.
This flight is a wonderful opportunity to experience how one estate, one landscape and one indigenous grape can evolve from fresh and uncomplicated to structured, complex and cellar-worthy.
Whether you're already a fan of Italian white w**es or looking to discover something completely new, we hope you'll join us.
