Famiglia Cotarella
Cotarella - Sodale Merlot Lazio IGP 2021 cl75
| Description |
The Merlot “Sodale” produced by the Cotarella Family is a red wine from Lazio in which the varietal is the undisputed protagonist. After all, the Cotarellas have a strong predisposition for this grape, which in the “Sodale” asserts itself with the classic roundness that one expects from a pure Merlot, with a persuasive and sly tannic texture, which takes little time to conquer the palate thanks to a warm embrace. A label whose name recalls the sense of belonging of the Cotarella family to the Lazio terroir, free to express itself through the grapes that best suit it according to the vision of the winery. The grapes destined for the production of Sodale, Tenuta's second wine, come from the same Montiano vineyards. The utmost attention during the harvesting phase and the subsequent selection of the grapes guarantee the wine the best quality. |
