The Mottura estate is located in Tuglie, a small town in the southern part of the Salento Peninsula. The building is still the original one, a beautiful late 19th century farmhouse in Baroque style, whose cellars hide the secrets of an ancient family villa. This is where the wines slowly age in oak barrels and barriques to develop the aromas, colours and atmospheres of the land.
In almost a century of history Mottura has made great steps forward, changing and growing as wine-making on the Salento peninsula has evolved and changed for the better.
Mottura’s vineyards are located in the particular terroir bounded by the towns of Cellino San Marco, Campi Salentina, Salice Salentino and Squinzano.
The soil in these areas has a historic vocation for growing the autochthonous vines of Puglia, rich in iron giving it a characteristic reddish colour. Clayey and limey layers contribute to abundant harvests and wines rich in extracts, concentrates and body.
