Description

CANTINE MOTHIA is located just a stone's throw from the island of the same name that experienced the glorious past of the Phoenician people and the enchanting scenery of the salt pans of Marsala. CANTINE MOTHIA was founded in 1997 by Francesco Bonomo, a Sicilian wine entrepreneur. The careful selection of grapes together with the painstaking attention with which each stage of processing is followed are the secrets of the quality of CANTINE MOTHIA's wines, attested by the awards obtained in several wine competitions and the presence in the most important wine guides. The baglio purchased by the Bonomo family in 1997 dates back to the 19th century, and renovation work was begun immediately, bringing to fruition a masterful work of restoration and recovery. The typicality of the baglio is characterized by the imposing central solid wood doorway surmounted by a finely historiated wrought iron grate, the interior tuff decorations and the large inner courtyard. Inside the courtyard it is also possible to appreciate the nineteenth-century marble paving that still bears the signs of the passage of the wagons with which in the past the farmers transported the grapes. During the renovation of the ancient baglio, the technical part was not neglected at the same time: a winemaking department equipped with the latest technologies and an aging department in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels were built. Thanks to the strategic geographic location and the fascinating architecture of our baglio, MOTHIA CELLARS lends itself to welcoming tourist groups by offering a pleasant and interesting company tour. Our welcome includes a winery tour whose main stops are: the inner courtyard, the winemaking and aging departments in steel and wood, the ancient cooperage in fine oak, inside which the fascinating history of Marsala wine is narrated, and finally the tasting room. The stop in the tasting room allows the tasting of ns production wines paired with typical Sicilian products.
