Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG 'RC2' 2019 (750 ml.) Family Cotarella
The Sagrantino di Montefalco 'RC2' from the Family Cotarella was produced for the first time with the 2006 vintage, when Riccardo Cotarella celebrated the birth of his first grandson, Riccardo Chiasso. The letters R and C inspired the original monogram RC2. It is a wine that impresses with its depth and elegance, in the best tradition of Montefalco wines, whose aging in large barrels contributes to enriching the wine, giving it spicy notes that lead to a compact, intense tasting experience, rich in tannins. Great balance and finesse.

THE WINE
The Sagrantino di Montefalco 'RC2' from the Famiglia Cotarella was produced for the first time with the 2006 vintage, when Riccardo Cotarella welcomed the birth of his first grandson Riccardo Chiasso. The letters R and C inspired the original monogram RC2. It is a wine that surprises with its depth and elegance, as is the best tradition of Montefalco wines, whose maturation in large barrels contributes to enriching the wine, giving it spicy notes that lead to a compact, intense tasting experience, rich in tannins. Great balance and finesse.
THE COMPANY
The bond between the Cotarella Family and the world of wine originated in the 1960s, when Antonio and Domenico Cotarella, winemakers in Monterubiaglio, a district of the municipality of Castel Viscardo in the province of Terni, established the first winery for the production of their own wine. Brothers Renzo and Riccardo Cotarella, both oenologists raised in a land of long winemaking traditions, driven by their father Domenico's passion, then founded the current “Falesco” in 1979, transforming what was a small family business into a successful winemaking company to pass on to future generations.
It is here, on the border between Umbria and Lazio, that wines of undeniable charm are born, characterized by a contemporary style and at the same time distinguished by a particular longevity. Wines that in just a few decades have become ambassadors of Italian winemaking around the world.
The company currently extends over a cultivated area that covers about 280 hectares, to which an additional ninety hectares, currently leased, should be added. In a hilly area characterized by volcanic soil, both native and international varieties are cultivated, so among the rows one can find plants of aleatico, trebbiano, malvasia, verdicchio, sangiovese, and vermentino, as well as merlot, syrah, viognier, and cabernet. Grapes grown in full respect of the environment and ecosystem, which in the winery are processed using the most modern and advanced oenological tools, always employed without ever distorting what the terroir and the season have come to express in the fruit.
