No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Fattoria La Massa Giampaolo Motta was born and raised in Naples and was destined to work in the family's leather business. Giampaolo however, had a different idea of how to live his life. He is a decisive and determined individual. While touring various properties in Tuscany in the early 90's, he came upon a spot that made him stand still.

His wines, La Massa and Giorgio Primo, stand out today as some of Italy's finest expressions of these noted varietals. And Giampaolo has only just begun. Proprietor Giampaolo Motta is one of the most passionate, driven producers in Tuscany. Seemingly never content with his wines, he continues to ratchet up quality in a meaningful way. The 2007 vintage brings with it a few significant changes, first and foremost the elimination of Sangiovese from the top of the line Giorgio Primo.

The wines age in barriques for 18 months, during which the wine is left in contact with the lees for the first 10 months . The lees are kept active by frequent batonage or stirring and macro oxygenation.

«La Massa has a long history of generations of people who have worked the unique soils of Panzano to cultivate the noble grapes of Bordeaux. In fact, the history of La Massa goes back to 1490 and the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have been here for nearly 400 years. I am dedicated to continuing this rich tradition at La Massa and bringing my own experience and knowledge with rigor and classicism to produce quality wine.» Giampaolo Motta

Cantina Colli di Castelfranci The recently built cellars of Colli di Castelfranci are an affirmation of the dedication and passion of the younger generation of the Gregorio and Colucci families. Joining forces in 2002, each family brought to the partnership a tradition of wine making, and new technologies to create a more modern approach to wines. Castelfranci is a small suburb of Irpinia Alta in the region of the Taurasi DOC. The vineyards are 600 meters above sea level with strong thermal exposures, which has proven to be excellent for the production of grapes.

Azienda Vitivinicola Capichera Capichera's story began in the early 20th century, when the grandfather of today's owners inherited a farm of over 50 hectares, in what is now the municipality of Arzachena, in the extreme north of Sardinia: an area already famed for its suitability for winegrowing.

It was Vermentino radically different from those already on the market: it was richer, more fragrant, smoother, and longer-lived than other, more important wines.

In the Seventies, the father of today's owners planted new vineyards of Vermentino and built a modern winery for the production of high quality wines. In 1980 the first wine was sold under the Capichera label.

CMK Consulting

CMK Consulting was founded due to a request on the part of many producers to assist them in the development of their International Markets.

The objective of the Consultation is to work with each estate individually as it forges its course across the globe.

Our friend Kohei Morita of Iida Co once said: “Our relationship is an exchange of hands”, thus an exchange of friendships.

CMK Consulting is metaphorically the creation of a brilliantly coloured tapestry of wines, flavours, memories and the wonderful people behind them.
