Falesco Vitiano Rosso 2021
- v89
Falesco was born in Montefiascone, Lazio in 1979. Second generation brothers Renzo & Riccardo Cotarella took the helm with the goal to rejuvenate native varieties of the Umbria region. In 1998, their wine named Vitiano was first produced and became one of the best choices for 'everyday' Italian red in the United States.
In 2017, Dominga, Marta and Enrica, daughters of Riccardo and Renzo Cotarella, officially took over management of Cotarella Family Estates. Their aim was to tie the company’s identity to its native terroir and the family name – re-branding the estate’s historic ‘Falesco’ name to “Famiglia Cotarella”.
Vitiano Rosso 2020 is rich in polyphenolics, but also with a balanced freshness and acidity. This vintage is versatile, innovative and immediately drinkable. Very flexible for food combinations, to be enjoyed with the fragrance of its aromas and in the expression of its Umbrian character.
Vinous
- v89
Spicy and floral, the 2021 Vitiano Umbria Rosso is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It wafts up with white pepper, savory herbs and violet complementing crushed blackberries. It's soft and round with vibrant red fruits and sweet blue and purple-toned inner florals. The energy remains high while finishing with a pleasantly chewy sensation, a framework of dusty tannins adding youthful poise.
