Sergio Mottura
Sergio Mottura works with Grechetto, the native white grape of Lazio's volcanic soils around Civitella d'Agliano. The winery's flagship wines—Muffo, Latour a Civitella, and Poggio della Costa—showcase the mineral precision and textural depth that Grechetto expresses in this corner of Central Italy. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate have all rated these bottlings, with Muffo reaching particular distinction among them. The wines reflect the region's geological character: a landscape shaped by volcanic activity that imparts salinity and structure to the fruit. Grechetto in skilled hands becomes something more than a simple regional white—it gains complexity and aging potential. Mottura's approach centers on this single variety across different vineyard sites, allowing the nuances of terroir to emerge through consistent winemaking.
