The Cotarella family was especially attracted to the idea of making Merlot in Lazio thanks to the volcanic soils commonly found in this region. Since 2015, when they made their first vintage, the family has worked to hone in on the special qualities of these soils. The winery, born by two brothers hoping to rehabilitate and recover the old vine varieties, was founded in 1960.
Subtle aromas of red fruit, black olives, violets and crushed stone on the nose. Earthy, compact and deep. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and polished tannins, and a long and flavorful finish. Overall, Famiglia Cotarella Sodale Merlot is a beautiful expression of Italian winemaking that will impress even the most discerning of wine lovers.
