Sergio Mottura awarder with the “Leonildo Pieropan” prize 2024
The assembly of the FIVI members took place on Monday, November 25th 2024, in Bologna, during the 13th Mercato dei Vini dei Vignaioli Indipendenti.
Besides being an important opportunity to discuss and share the objectives of the association, the assembly was the occasion to award Sergio Mottura, Winemaker in Lazio, the Prize “Leonildo Pieropan” 2024, in memory of the unforgotten Winemaker of Soave, one of the pioneers and founders of FIVI.
This is the reason for the award: “From Turin to the Tuscia countryside, from the engineering studies to the management of the family business, Sergio Mottura has come a long way. Sergio Mottura’s story is part of the great history of Italian viticulture and winemaking. By becoming a member of FIVI, Sergio found his ideal “home” where he could develop the passion for his territory, a cultural approach to his job and the protection of the agricultural landscape while safeguarding future generations”.
