Descrizione

The Merlot IGP Montiano di Cotarella is born in the rich and sunny hills of Lazio, a territory that gives this wine a soft and enveloping personality. The Merlot grape variety is cultivated with great care, favoring a harvest that preserves freshness and aromaticity. The aging in stainless steel tanks enhances the fruity purity of the wine, with notes of ripe cherry, plum, and a delicate herbal nuance that makes it a very balanced product. On the palate, it is juicy and full, with silky tannins and a pleasant persistence that invites you to continue sipping. It is ideal as a companion to white meats, flavorful first courses, and soft cheeses, enhancing every dish without overwhelming it. A Merlot accessible and sincere, bringing the warmth and generosity of Lazio directly into the glass.

Winery history

The family's roots date back to the 1960s; brothers Renzo and Riccardo Cotarella founded the Falesco project in 1979. In the years that followed, leadership passed to the next generation and the group evolved into Famiglia Cotarella, expanding its vineyard holdings and acquiring new estates. The company has also conducted research and initiatives to recover local grape varieties such as Roscetto.

Production philosophy

The pursuit of territorial expression through the integration of tradition and innovation: a focus on enhancing indigenous grape varieties, experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, and training and social responsibility projects linked to the territory.
