Lazio Bianco IGP 'Ferentano' 2017 (750 ml.) - Famiglia Cotarella
The 'Ferentano' of the Family Cotarella is made from roscetto grapes, a native Lazio grape variety typical of the Montefiascone area and the hilly regions adjacent to Lake Bolsena. A variety that takes its name from the color of the skin, which changes with the progression of ripening from green to yellow, and from yellow to pink. A distant relative of the greco, it is capable of producing a full-bodied wine with a rich range of aromatic and taste sensations. Vinified in steel and aged in barrique for about 4 months, it is a soft and refined white wine, with great balance and elegance.

THE WINE
The 'Ferentano' from the Famiglia Cotarella is made with roscetto grapes, an indigenous Lazio grape variety typical of the Montefiascone area and the adjacent hilly regions of Lake Bolsena. A variety named for the color of its skin, which changes with ripening from green to yellow, and from yellow to pink. A distant relative of the greco, it is capable of producing a full-bodied wine with a rich range of aromatic and tasting sensations. Fermented in steel and aged in barrique for about 4 months, it is a smooth and refined white wine, with great balance and elegance.
THE COMPANY
The bond between the Cotarella Family and the world of wine dates back to the 1960s, when Antonio and Domenico Cotarella, winemakers in Monterubiaglio, a fraction of the municipality of Castel Viscardo in the province of Terni, established the first winery for the production of their own wine. The brothers Renzo and Riccardo Cotarella, both oenologists raised in a land with long winemaking traditions, driven by their father Domenico's passion, later founded the current “Falesco” in 1979, transforming what was a small family business into a successful winemaking enterprise to be passed on to future generations.
It is here, at the border between Umbria and Lazio, that wines of undeniable charm are born, characterized by a contemporary style and at the same time marked by particular longevity. Wines that in just a few decades have become ambassadors of Italian winemaking around the world.
The company currently covers a vineyard area of about 280 hectares, to which another ninety hectares are added that are currently rented. In a hilly area characterized by volcanic soils, both indigenous varieties and international grapes are cultivated, so among the rows of vines you can find plants of aleatico, trebbiano, malvasia, verdicchio, sangiovese, and vermentino, as well as merlot, syrah, viognier, and cabernet. Grapes grown with full respect for 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 allowed the fruit to express.
