From Rome to Gleno
The Motta family produces wine at the Maso Thaler
Everyone knows that all roads lead to Rome, but some people also blaze
trails going in the opposite direction. For instance, in 2004 Nino Motta moved with his family from the Eternal City to Gleno above Montagna in order to produce wine there at the Maso Thaler.
Although
within that context, the work at the Maso Thaler, which was founded in
1812 and is located at an elevation of more than 600 meters, is anything
but a walk in the park. “Our vineyards in Gleno are very steep, many of
them are terraced, and just for that reason alone, only work by hand is
called for in many locations,” Motta explains. So not only is a lot of
sweat necessary to manage the Maso Thaler, heart and passion are also needed.
This
passion, the passion for winegrowing, was also what brought Motta here
from Rome nearly twenty years ago. Since that time, he and his wife Anna
Maria and their sons Filippo, Francesco, and Piergiorgio have tended
3.5 hectares of grape growing areas. Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer,
Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay grow here, all of them supported by Guyot trellises.
But
the focus is on Pinot Noir, because Motta believes that the perfect
conditions are found here: porphyry soils, high temperature
differentials between day and night especially in August and September,
and a constant breeze. “All of that together provides for our wines
distinguishing themselves through freshness, spiciness, and being able to last long,” Motta says.
