Lazio Rosso IGP 'Montiano' 2021 (750 ml.) Famiglia Cotarella
'Montiano' is the flagship product by Cotarella Family, acclaimed since its inception as one of the greatest and most innovative Italian reds, it is the result of a Merlot grape cut planted by grafters of Montpellier in a land traditionally suited to white vines. On the Lazio hills, the merlot reaches an extraordinary level of ripeness, then expressing itself in wines of the highest elegance perfectly balanced and of considerable pleasantness. This in particular arises from an old vineyard with low productivity, where selection was more rigorous. It is left to mature for at least a year in French oak barrels. Soft and balanced it is able to amaze even after several years from the harvest.

It is here, between Umbria and Lazio, that wines of unquestionable charm are born, characterized by a contemporary style and at the same time characterized by a particular longevity. Wines that in a few decades have become ambassadors of Italian wine in the world.
The company currently extends over an area planted with vines covering approximately 280 hectares, to which a further ninety hectares currently rented should be added. In a hilly area characterized by soils of volcanic origin, both autochthonous and international grapes are cultivated, whereby among the rows we find plants of aleatico, trebbiano, malvasia, verdicchio, sangiovese and vermentino, and again of merlot, syrah, viognier and cabernet. Bunches bred in full respect of the environment and ecosystem, which in the cellar are processed using the most modern and advanced oenological instruments, always used without ever distorting what the terroir and the season have come to express in the fruit.
