The Domain: For the Famiglia Cotarella, wine is the element that flows through three generations and unites the past, present and future. Beginning with a historical focus on the indigenous white varieties found in Umbria and Lazio, this family-owned portfolio has grown to represent classic red and white blends, outstanding expressions of Merlot and a boutique production of Brunello di Montalcino – all grown and vinified with care by the 3rd generation. 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 – rebranding the estate’s historic ‘Falesco’ name to “Famiglia Cotarella”.
