Falesco

A harmonious all-rounder from Vermentino and Verdicchio. Bright golden yellow with a rich fruity bouquet and mineral aromas on the nose. On the palate it is juicy and very animating, with a fresh core of white flowers and minerals, and hints of pear and lime with a fine acid structure. SUPERIORE.DE

Typical Vitiano: Its colour is deep ruby red and aromas of cherries and berries flow into the nose. The taste is nicely clear as we know it, in the foreground there are wonderful fresh cherry tones with an aromatic vanilla note. Also the youngest Vitiano has an excellent structure and fine tannins. Today already round, full-bodied, juicy and with long lasting fruit. SUPERIORE.DE

The fame and Latin name of this legendary wine goes back to the beginning of the 12th century. In the current Est! Est! Est!!! "Poggio dei Gelsi", Riccardo Cotarella gave it all his bravura: he gave it an appetizing, aromatic spice based on a slender, lively structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale straw yellow. Shy but pure aromas of fresh citrus fruits, white flowers and nectarine. Fresh, nicely balanced and gently concentrated, showing juicy texture and perfume to the citrus and floral flavors. Harmonious and persistent, this offers good density and bright acid lift. Will pair well with a range of dishes. Reportedly a blend of 40% local Trebbiano varieties, 30% Roscetto, and 30% local Malvasia varieties." Vinous

A flattering wine. Deep purple red, concentrated cherry and cassis nose with floral components, full body, very harmonious and round, well integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

Trentanni is a complex, dense wine from equal parts Sangiovese and Merlot. Intense dark fruit bouquet, round and soft on the palate with plenty of fruit and long. SUPERIORE.DE

A delight for lovers of smooth red wines and the second wine of Cotarella's Tenuta Montiano. Deep ruby red, slightly sweet notes of ripe blackberries and black cherries in the nose, some coffee, spices, vanilla and subtle toasty aromas. Pure and clear in the mouth, soft but powerful tannins, long. SUPERIORE.DE

"An impressive merlot with very ripe blueberry character, a considerable tannin structure and a lot of drive at the finish." James Suckling

"Good full ruby. Very ripe aromas of red cherry, blackberry, violet and coffee. Bright, juicy and lively, with tactile but suave and slightly simple flavors of blue fruits, flowers and herbs. Finishes soft and long with good floral lift. 100% Merlot grown at 300 meters a.s.l. on clay-calcareous soils, stainless steel-fermented and aged nine months in new French barriques." Vinous

Ferentano is a pure white wine from the rare, native Roscetto vine: bright yellow colour, the scent slightly sweetish of honeydew melon and citrus fruits, the taste full and fruity with fine residual sweetness, the strong structure with hints of grapefruit, honeydew melon and apricot jam. An extraordinary and very harmonious white wine, in which all components are finely tuned to each other. SUPERIORE.DE

"A lot of lemony freshness in the nose and on the medium-weight palate. Then, an interesting buttery note balances the touch of tannin at the finish." James Suckling

"The 2016 Ferentano is a pure expression of the little-known Roscetto grape. Roscetto is a very thick-skinned grape that produces very low yields. In fact, the grapes are frozen after the harvest in a process that helps to break the skins. This freezing process helps to avoid excessive richness and concentration as the fruit goes through the press. The wine is partially fermented in stainless steel and partially in oak for four months. It undergoes full malolactic fermentation as well and is then racked back into oak for four months of aging. Years ago, Roscetto was exclusively used as a blending grape, so it's great to see someone take a chance with it as a monovarietal wine. You get citrus flavors with melon and Golden Delicious apple. It's a rich, medium-bodied white to pair with white meats or fried drumsticks." Robert Parker

Intense, seductive scent of sweet spices, tobacco, dark cherries and wild berries. The perfectly corresponding taste is of enormous elegance, richness of fruit, complexity, structure and length. A wonderful, dreamlike wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"In the nose red fruits, some vanilla and fresh plum. On the palate soft, accessible, with fine tannin, ripe fruit and roasted aromas in the finish." Falstaff

"Dark berry, blackberry, tea leaf, and dried lavender. Full body, layered and polished. A pretty and focused red." James Suckling

"Montiano is and always has been the Cotarella family pièce de résistance. The 2015 Montiano (100% Merlot from Lazio) is a deep and richly textured wine with thick layers of dark fruit and sweet spice. The wine ages in Nevers and Tronçais oak barriques for 12 months. The 2015 vintage was warm, and that extra heat adds to the power and the softness of the wine." Robert Parker

Fantastic Cabernet, which reflects the first-class terroir of its Umbrian homeland in the most beautiful way. Deep, dark red colour, an enormous amount of fruit scent of black berries, finest spice aromas, a hint of toasted bread. Very concentrated and close to the palate, much finesse and elegance, the new wood perfectly integrated, dreamlike sweet fruit extract, soft, juicy tannins and a brilliant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lots of new wood to this wine, giving it a vanilla and toasted-oak undertone. Plenty of berry character underneath. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish." James Suckling
