Lazio, Italy

“Fruity, Vanilla, Easy Drinking”

Deep ruby colour with violet reflections.  Fruity nose of black cherry, black plum, red currant, with spicy hints and pleasant hints of vanilla.  Rich, sweet vanilla and sily tannin on the palate, medium bodied, well balanced and a moderate finish.  An amazing easy-drinking Syrah from Lazio.

From the winery:

“A wine with an intense colour and violet reflections, on the nose its scent is enhanced by hints of fresh fruit, cherry with spicy notes that blend with great balance and elegance to those of sweet and vanilla expressed from the wood.  The taste is enveloping, silky, soft tannins, rich and persistent finish.”

“The link between the Family Cotarella and the world of wine has its origins in the Sixties, when Antonio and Domenico Cotarella, growers in Monterubiaglio, made the first winery to produce their own wine.  The brothers Renzo and Riccardo Cotarella, both winemakers grew up in a land of long winemaking traditions, driven by the passion of their father Domenico, then founded in 1979 the current Falesco, turning what was a small family business into a successful company to leave to future generations. ” – Importer’s note
