FAMIGLIA COTARELLA-An Inspired Italian Winery in Central Italy

Famiglia Cotarella is a pioneering winery led by the acclaimed Italian winemakers Riccardo and Renzo Cotarella's daughters, Dominga, Marta, and Enrica. The family has been elevating the reputation of Central Italy's wines to an international level with their expertise. Dominga, Marta, and Enrica are among the rising group of women who are becoming renowned for top-notch wine production.

In Famiglia Cotarella’s Lazio Estate, the winery produces premium reds and whites from native grape varieties such as Roscetto, Bellone and Cesanese, and globally known varieties like Merlot.  The region has proven to have the perfect balance between the Mediterranean coastline climate and the cooler inland Apennine Mountains that is ideal for cultivating grapes.

We had the pleasure of sampling several of Famiglia Cotarella’s wines and recommend them highly to our readers. 

Ferentano Bianco Lazio IGP 2019 - Ferentano owes its name from the archaeological site of Ferento, an ancient Etruscan town, located near the vineyards where this wine is produced. Made from indigenous Roscetto white grapes, this wine has been produced since 1998 as part of Riccardo Cotarella's concerted effort to revitalize this native varietal. This wine exudes soft aromas of banana, pineapple, freshly cut herbs, and vanilla.
