Falesco’s 2006 Ferentano highlights the qualities of Roscetto, one of Umbria’s native varieties. The wine opens with a burst of ripe peaches layered into sweet French oak, all supported by notable structure. The finish is long and clean. The Ferentano spent roughly 3 months in used French oak prior to being bottled. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. Riccardo Cotarella’s numerous consulting engagements take him all over the world, but it is Falesco, his estate in the rolling hills of Umbria, that he calls home. Falesco is a family affair, with Cotarella’s brother Renzo, and daughter Dominga involved in running the winery. The sprawling property covers 670 acres, 370 of which are under vine. Quality is incredibly consistent when one considers that nearly 3 million bottles emerge from these cellars each year. Never one to rest on his laurels, Cotarella has several new projects in the works. One of the most intriguing of these is a Sagrantino he is making from three hectares of rented vineyards in Bevagna. The first vintage, 2006, will be released later this year.Importer:A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
