“Vitiano” Rosso Umbria IGP 2019
Typical Vitiano: Its colour is strong ruby red and aromas of cherries and berries flow into the nose. The taste beautifully distinct, as we know it, in the foreground wonderfully fresh cherry tones with an aromatic vanilla note. The youngest Vitiano also has an excellent structure and fine tannins. Today already round, full-bodied, juicy and with long-lasting fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

“Vitiano” Bianco Umbria IGP 2020
A harmonious all-rounder of Vermentino and Verdicchio. Light golden yellow, a rich fruit bouquet with mineral aromas on the nose. Beautifully juicy and very animating on the palate with a fresh core of white flowers as well as minerals, plus hints of pear and lime with a fine acid structure. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sweet peach and melon mix with savory herbs as the 2020 Vitiano Bianco opens in the glass. This is soft and pliant in feel with a balanced display of ripe orchard fruits and salty mineral tones. Zesty acids keep the mouth watering for more, as the Vitiano Bianco tapers off with unexpected length and a spicy citrus flourish." Vinous

“Ferentano” Bianco Lazio IGP 2017
Ferentano is a pure white made from the rare indigenous vine Roscetto, which has a very thick skin. Therefore, the grapes are frozen after harvesting to then better break the skins during pressing and to ensure that only the fruit passes through during pressing.
Bright yellow colour, the aroma is slightly sweet of citrus fruits, melon and Golden Delicious. Rich and fruity in the mouth, with a strong structure and hints of grapefruit, honeydew melon and apricot jam. An exceptional and very harmonious white wine in which all components are finely tuned to each other - and an equal alternative to high-quality Chardonnay aged in wood. SUPERIORE.DE
"This is a fascinating wine that represents a clever intersection of technology and the genetics of a little-known indigenous grape. A pure expression of the thick-skinned and low-yield Roscetto grape, the Falesco Famiglia Cotarella 2017 Ferentano reveals rich aromas, beautiful depth and a mid-weight approach that is worthy of an epic plate of grilled prawns. The wine is vinified with cyromaceration, which involves lowering the temperature during maceration to soften the grape skins and preserve aromatic definition and freshness. This wine reveals stone fruit, quince, Golden Delicious apple and brimstone. The warm 2017 vintage adds to the soft textural richness of the mouthfeel." Robert Parker

“San Giovenale” Rosso Lazio VdT s.a.
San Giovenale Rosso is the inexpensive entry into the fascinating world of probably the best red wines of Lazio. Just 2,000 bottles are produced each year from this blend of two vintages of Habemus (Etichetta Bianca).
Strong ruby with violet reflections. Infinitely deep, balsamic and intense bouquet of sweet spices, black pepper, aniseed as well as fruity notes of plum, redcurrant and raspberry. Powerful and dense on the palate, always lively and dynamic thanks to a surprising acidity that is brilliantly balanced with fine tannins. The intense finish is warm and complex with a long reverberation of spices and again beguiling, balsamic notes – thus closing the circle. SUPERIORE.DE

Limitation of 6 articles per customer“Montiano” Merlot Lazio IGP 2017
Intense, seductive aroma of sweet spices, tobacco, dark cherries and wild berries. In addition, the perfectly corresponding taste of enormous elegance, fruit richness, complexity, structure and length. A wonderful, dreamlike wine. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark shining ruby red. Complex and clear nose, finely marked by noble woods, blackberries, blackcurrants, some liquorice and leather. Shows great melting fruit core on the palate, elegant and tightly woven tannin accompanies the course, with pressure and finesse, long final." Falstaff
"A sleek, harmonious red, medium- to full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins enmeshed with flavors of cassis and black cherry fruit, apple wood smoke and bay leaf. The firm finish is well-spiced and lingering." Wine Spectator
"Amazingly fresh and minty, dusty even, the 2017 Merlot Montiano wafts up with hints of candied citrus, wild berries and sage. It's rich, succulent and round, with ripe red and blue berries, minerals and inner animal muskiness. This shows the warmth and dry conditions of the year, yet with refinement. The 2017 finishes with a saturation of primary fruits and spices offset by hints of tangerine and lifting inner florals, while remaining surprisingly mouthwatering, so lively and fresh. Such balance mixed with power and structure makes this an atypical expression of the vintage, and one worth checking out." Vinous
"The wine which, in Cotarella's words was 'a real turning point for me and my profession,' this Montiano Merlot has a lovely concentration without being heavy, and a natural harmony and balance even in a hot, dry vintage like 2017. It has elegant hints of orange peel, iris, spice and cream, with fresh green notes and red berry fruit. A super-smooth, medium-bodied wine with a bright, juicy finish." Decanter
"So much going on here with overtures of blackberries, dark cherries and finer, spicier notes of saffron, paprika and dried cloves. Excellent composure for a vintage such as 2017. The resoluteness of the tannins tames the wild dark fruit here, giving a clear indication of ripeness, but also structure and finesse." James Suckling
"The Cotarella Montiano project is a fluid, ever-changing program that adds focus and intensity with each successive vintage. The Falesco Famiglia Cotarella 2017 Montiano (a celebrated expression of Merlot) is vibrant and spicy with immediate vertical lift and dark fruit intensity. Grapes are sourced from two sites, one with clay soils and one with volcanic soils, so you get textural structure and aromatic lift in this clever blend. Grapes are hand selected, berry by berry, on the sorting table. The wine is redolent of dark fruit and blackberry with a hint of bright mint on the close. To summarize, this is a terrific bottle."

“Ogrà" Syrah Lazio IGP 2015
Ogrà, named after the family's grandmother, is the result of many years of experimentation and experience with the interaction of microclimate and terroir on the best possible development of the Sarah grape. Finally, the family vineyard Castiglione in Teverina was chosen, from whose volcanic soils the grapes for the just 3,000 bottles of this rare exceptional Syrah come.
Concentrated, deep-dark bouquet of ripe fruits and spices. On the palate of beguiling texture, powerful, dense and very rich. The extract sweetness is well proportioned, with traces of pepper and campfire ash as the wine progresses. Ogra impresses until the long, unforgettable finish and is one of the most impressive Syrahs of central Italy. SUPERIORE.DE
"This is the second vintage of this new wine from the Cotarella family (as this wine was not made in 2014). The inaugural 2013 vintage is an absolute knockout, and the 2015 Syrah Ogrà follows closely in that success. Named after grandma Grazia, this pure expression of Syrah benefits from the cooler, semi-volcanic soils of Lazio, which add sharpness and focus to the overall aromatic presentation. This is an open and frank expression - just like the best interpretations of Syrah - always arewith abundant black fruit, spice, campfire ash and crushed peppercorn. This wine is opulent and bold with beautiful thickness and texture." Robert Parker

Limitation of 3 articles per customer“Habemus” Rosso Lazio IGT 2019
The classic Habemus with its white label is probably the most famous wine of the exceptional Roman winemaker Emanuele Pangrazi. This may not only be due to its extreme quality, but also to the relatively large production of 9,000 bottles per vintage for the boutique winery, which should ensure a certain distribution at least in international connoisseur circles. Habemus is one of the 100 best wines in Italy every year and, with its style inspired by the great wines of the Rhone, at least casts a small but very bright light on the wine region of Lazio, which is otherwise not particularly conspicuous in terms of exceptional wines.
Intense, almost impenetrable ruby red. In the expansive bouquet aromas of black cherries, blackberries, spices, smoke, tobacco, lavender and crushed stones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex with remarkable concentration and depth. Habemus 2019 is beautifully balanced with a velvety texture and a wonderful sense of freshness that lasts until the long, expansive finish full of dark fruit and lavender notes. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense, dark ruby red. Complex, rich and persuasive on the nose with floral notes and small red fruits, then moving into balsamic and eucalyptus notes. Then, with further aeration, spices, cinnamon and black pepper, joined by notes of candied orange peel, plums, blackberry jam and cocoa. Powerful and very dynamic on the palate with noble marmalade-fruity notes, vibrating, sweet tannins and perfectly integrated alcohol. The perfect combination of extract and acidity is completely convincing, which then merges into balsamic and refreshing notes. Great! SUPERIORE.DE

Limitation of 1 articles per customer“Habemus Etichetta Rossa” Rosso Lazio IGT 2018
Emanuele Pangrazi is probably Lazio's most ambitious winemaker at the moment. With his extreme planting density and radical yield restriction, he is following a path that is trend-setting for Lazio. After he had fundamentally analysed his terroir and also the climatic conditions, it was clear to him in 2006 that he would plant mainly French grape varieties here according to the principle of the great wines of the Rhone. In addition to his famous Cuvée Habemus (Etichetta Bianca) and the San Giovenale Rosso (assemblage from two vintages of Habemus), he also vinifies four single-varietal Habemus wines, but these are absolutely small.
Habemus Etichetta Rossa, with a production volume of approx. 1,000 bottles, is a pure Cabernet Franc of the absolute extra class. Deep dark ruby red. The bouquet is broad, complex and elegant with a balsamic carpet of graphite, cinchona bark, blood orange and rhubarb. As it progresses, notes of Mediterranean scrub, sweet spices and cherries open up. The palate is full, punchy and warm, the tannins are silky and the alcohol fully integrated. On the finish, those beguiling balsamic notes and sweet spices reappear. If you have patience, you will be richly rewarded with this rare exceptional wine! SUPERIORE.DE

After he had fundamentally analysed his terroir and also the climatic conditions, it was clear to him in 2006 that he would plant mainly French grape varieties here according to the principle of the great wines of the Rhone. In addition to his famous Cuvée Habemus (Etichetta Bianca) and the San Giovenale Rosso (assemblage from two vintages of Habemus), he also vinifies four single-varietal Habemus wines, but these are absolutely small.
Habemus Etichetta Blu is a pure Grenache (also called Alicante or Cannonau in Italy, depending on the growing area) from a vineyard of one hectare planted in 2006 in Blera at an altitude of 380 m on clayey, skeletal soils and grown in bush. Brilliant ruby red. On the attractive bouquet, varietal aromas of wild berries, tin cans and liquorice powder, framed by blackberry and blueberry jam, undergrowth and dried violets, cocoa beans and Lebanon cedar. On the palate then a highly detailed cornucopia of sour cherry, red berries, dried oregano, anise and a hint of preserved peach. The palate then presents the delicate and complex overall ensemble with hints of damp earth, wonderfully refreshing acidity and a touch of Indian spice.
Vertical and straightforward, this Grenache is bursting with energy and electricity and is endowed with a very respectable personality. Should you be able to acquire one of the 500 bottles produced of this vintage, enjoy it with Rossini-style tournedos! SUPERIORE.DE

Lazio has more than Frascati and Est! Est! Est!!! to offer.
For many years wine lovers thought only of Frascati or Est! Est! Est!!!, when the speech came on wines from Latium. This has changed considerably in recent years, as the entire wine industry in the region around Rome has undergone almost radical changes. Although white wines still dominate with a share of almost three quarters of all wines from Lazio, the red wines are clearly catching up with the quality wines.
The change is particularly noticeable when one looks at the share of the three DOCG and 27 DOC regions, as more than half of all wines in Lazio are already labelled in this way. If the IGT wines are added, the figure is 76 percent. Ten years ago this was exactly the other way round, when simple wines dominated with over 70 percent. Of course, this is also due to the consumer behaviour of the Italians themselves. This is because significantly less quantity is consumed, but higher quality is required. Especially in big cities like Rome. And since the main sales of Lazio wine are in the Rome region, wine producers have had to change their minds. That was an excellent success.
Wine has always been drunk in Rome.
Actually logical, because both the Caesars and the popes were never contemptuous of food, this can be read in all Latin books. This is why names such as Falerner or Caecuber - the classic wines of antiquity - are still known to many wine lovers. The hilly landscape around the state capital Rome has much more to offer than popular and historical plants. Only 21,800 hectares of the former 100,000 hectares of vineyards are still cultivated. This produces around 170 million litres of wine. This is about three and a half percent of total Italian production.
The number one grape variety is Malvasia, which occurs here in two varieties: Malvasia Bianca and Malvasia del Lazio. It is complemented by Procanico, as the small berry variety of Trebbiano Toscano is called here, and by Roscetto, Grechetto di Orvieto, Drupeggio and Verdello. The Orvieto area stretches as far as Umbria, and some wineries in the border area therefore cultivate vineyards in both regions.
In the middle of the boot.
Lazio, as the region is called in Italian, is located in the centre of Italy and is the knee of the boot. 320 kilometres of the west coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea are among them. All other central regions of Italy border Lazio. Tuscany, Umbria, Marches, Abruzzo, Molise and Campania. The climate on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea is dry and hot. In the interior, formed by former volcanoes and their crater lakes, it is much cooler and wetter. The soils are almost entirely ancient volcanic and tuff rocks, alternately interspersed with clay and sand towards the coast. With the exception of the up to 2.200m high Apennines, vines are cultivated almost everywhere. A few grapes of Fiorano even in the urban area of Rome, on the Via Appia.
A total of around 200 varieties are permitted. Many of them are descendants of ancient grape varieties, but only a dozen are important. The main red varieties are Sangiovese and Montepulciano. For the ancient Cesanese, even special DOC zones were established. In the meantime, the vineyards are also more frequently planted with international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, mostly as cuvée partners, occasionally also as surprisingly good single varieties. Above all the famous oenologist family Cotarella with their winery Falesco.
Older semesters will remember that Frascati, produced from Malvasia and Trebbiano, used to be omnipresent, especially in Italian restaurants in Germany. It was even called the Italian equivalent of Liebfrauenmilch. But Frascati went out of fashion. Today, the picturesque wine-growing village in the Albanian mountains in the north of the Castelli Romani is surrounded by much less, but also much better quality produced, gradually the image turns and the fine mineral whites are again more appreciated.
Cesanese, fragrant, dark, dense and beguiling.
A few kilometres east of the Castelli Romani, the red wine is in the centre of the cultivation. Around the wine village of Piglio, Cesanese produces tannin-rich, fragrant wines of deep colour, which can be aged in the bottle for several years. There are some flavors, the DOCG Cesanese del Piglio is considered the best.
The legendary ancient wines, such as the Caecuber, highly appreciated in ancient Rome, and the Falerner, came from today's province of Latina, located in the south of Lazio on the border with Campania. Around the small village of Gaeta, a small reminiscence of Cècubo is produced, an exciting red wine.
Even the famous Est! Est! Est!!! di Montefiascone has seen better sales. All too long the winegrowers have rested on the degree of popularity and pressed quite arbitrary wines for the numerous tourists. And yet there are really excellent conditions for elegant white wine around the Lago di Bolsena, as some producers also prove. Most are dry, but it also comes in a semi-dry and even sweet version in the bottle.
Est! Est! Est!!! di Montefiascone - white wine steeped in legend.
The strange name is based on the legend that the Augsburg bishop Johannes Fugger sent a servant ahead on a trip in 1111 to test the quarters and wines of the area. It was agreed that he would use chalk to build those locations with a „Est!“ (mutatis mutandis: „That's him!“) should identify the good ones, and a two-fold „Est! Est!“who offered particularly good wine. In an inn in Montefiascone, he was so enthusiastic about the wine that he decided to do so with a triple „Est! Est! Est!!!“ at the inn door. By the way, according to legend, Bishop Fugger never reached the Pope - and is buried in the church of San Flaviano in Montefiascone. In his honour, a wine festival is celebrated every year, with a bottle of Est! Est! Est!!! poured on his grave. At that time, however, the wine was made from Moscato Bianco and was probably sweet. Today's white wine is produced from Procanico, the small berry variety of Trebbiano Toscano, Roscetto and Malvasia and is aged as secco, abboccato and amabile. It is also available as a spumante - exclusively as secco. SUPERIORE.DE
