100% Merlot, Montiano has a wonderful, deep, ruby red color, a wide aromatic range of scents in which delicious vanilla notes, small red fruit, layers of jam and sweet spices combine. The taste appears to have a full aristocratic roundness and softness, typical of Merlot, with quite elegant, agreeable and lingering flavors. Falesco’s flagship product, Montiano was acclaimed since its inception as one of the largest and most innovative Italian reds. It is the result of a blend of Merlot planted by grafters of Montpellier in a land traditionally suited to white grapes. 2011: 92 WE / 90 WS 2012: 93 WA / 90 WS / Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso 2013: 93 JS / 90 Vinous / Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso 2014: 92 JS / 90 WS 2015: 93 WA / 90 WS/ Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso ITEM CODE: NET CASE: DISC: SIZE/PACK: NET BOTTLE: For over thirty years the Cotarella Family’s passion for viticulture and strong sense of belonging to the land has pushed them to elevate their wine heritage and produce wines of superior quality following a production philosophy focused on terroir, science and innovation.
