Product Notes

Famiglia Cotarella Montiano Merlot is a high-quality red wine that is produced in the Lazio region of central Italy. This wine is made from 100% Merlot grapes, which are carefully harvested and fermented to perfection. The resulting wine is an intense ruby red with aromas of red fruits, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, Famiglia Cotarella Montiano Merlot is full-bodied and smooth, with a balanced acidity and soft tannins. This wine is known for its complex and elegant flavors, which make it a perfect accompaniment to red meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is an excellent choice for both special occasions and everyday dining.

Tasting Notes

Montiano is deep ruby-red in color and exhibits a wide range of aromas, from red berries to spices along with hints of vanilla. Its palate is supple, full-bodied and elegant, remarkably enjoyable with a lingering finish. This wine shows its best qualities when served at a temperature of 18° C (64° Fahrenheit) in large ballon glasses, a great match with meat dishes.

About the Winery

Famiglia Cotarella

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. The sisters did so to honour their native terroir and the family name.
