About the Winery

The history and story of Famiglia Cotarella started with two brothers, Riccardo and Renzo Cotarella. They were both enologists, having their roots deep in the territories between the Umbria and Lazio regions. Thus, the two considered retrieving and restoring historical vines an act of immense importance.

Riccardo and Renzo established the Falesco winery in 1979 on volcanic soils. They wished to work on indigenous grape varieties of the area that people considered extinct. Their daughters, Enrica, Marta, and Dominga, joined them in their endeavour in 2017. They took over the operation and management of the winery. Later, they rebranded and changed the historic and ancient name of the estate from Falesco to Famiglia Cotarella, giving rise to the wine estate of today.
