Description
What type of wine it is
Villa Mottura Salento Fiano, produced by Mottura, is a still white wine with a Typical Geographical Indication (IGT) from Puglia that fully expresses the authenticity of the Fiano grape variety. Vinified in stainless steel with a brief refinement on the fine lees, it stands out for its distinctly floral profile, where intense aromas of jasmine, elderflower and wild rose emerge, combined with delicate hints of white peach. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fresh and harmonious, characterised by a savoury texture that closes with clear citrus notes.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the municipalities of Cellino San Marco, Salice Salentino and Guagnano, in the heart of the Salento. In this area of Puglia, the vineyards benefit from calcareous-clay soils and hot, dry summers, optimal conditions for balanced ripening. Mottura manages these vineyards according to the principles of organic viticulture, ensuring a careful approach that enhances the expression and natural liveliness of the fruit.
How it is produced
Following a careful manual harvest, the clusters undergo soft pressing to extract the must. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, preserving the freshness of the varietal aromas intact. The subsequent refinement on the fine lees gives further roundness to the sip, making it ideal for accompanying seafood starters, fish-based first courses or fresh cheeses such as burrata.
History and interesting facts
With over a century of history, the Puglian winery Mottura masterfully enhances indigenous grape varieties through rigorous certified organic viticulture. The dry white Villa Mottura Fiano IGT Salento originates from particularly well-suited limestone-clay soils, capable of giving it an unmistakable identity. The grapes, hand-harvested in the Salento estates and vinified in Tuglie, preserve their vibrant freshness intact. This 100% Fiano, from old vines trained using the Guyot system, bears witness to the vocation of a historic family winery.

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, Baroque-style farmhouse. Here, the cellars hide the secrets of an ancient family villa and wines age slowly in oak barrels and barriques to develop the aromas, colours and atmosphere 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. As early as the 1940s large iron-ringed barrels of Mottura wines were loaded onto Northbound trains in Tuglie, headed for three plants in Naples, Rome and Milan where the wines of the Salento peninsula were distributed and appreciated. However, the Mottura estate had intentions to go beyond this, and in the ’60s it became one of the first wineries in the area to bottle its own wine. The goal to characterise the Mottura brand was clear from the start: combining big numbers with appreciable, genuine quality.
Perhaps when you’ve been making genuine wines every day for four generations, you’re ready for a new challenge. That of offering even more innovative products of better and better quality while still preserving and revitalising tradition. The result has been new product lines, already known and appreciated the world over. I Classici and Le Pitre are 2 such award-winning lines for Mottura which highlight, in a contemporary way, the potential of local grape varieties, with particular focus on the traditional Salento varieties, such as Negroamaro and Primitivo, cultivating the vines according to the historic technique known as "ad alberello" and preserving traditional wine-making methods.
In 2020 Mottura was awarded for the following wines:
