Falesco Vitiano Rosso

The vines for the Vitiano Rosso grow at 200 meters above sea level in the Orvieto region.

Fermentation takes place in steel tanks and aging for 3 months in oak barrels.

The result is an intensely ruby-red wine with purple reflections.

Its bouquet is characterized by fruity aromas in balance with woody notes.

In the mouth, it is fresh and fruity, accompanied by a pleasant acidity and present tannins.

Although it is powerful in taste, it leaves a round, harmonious impression.

In detail

How does the Falesco Vitiano Rosso taste?

This red wine tastes dry, juicy and powerful, with a firm grip and a round finish. Its profile is created from the triad of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sangiovese brings freshness and acidity, Merlot fullness, Cabernet Sauvignon structure and tannin.

Aging in wood gives it contour without masking the fruit. At 13.6% vol, it has body but does not feel heavy. As an IGT from Umbria, it is less strictly bound by requirements than classic DOC wines. The cuvée of Sangiovese and international grape varieties is typical here: it appears more accessible than a single-varietal Sangiovese and stronger than many light everyday red wines.

What does the Vitiano go with?

It goes well with game and lamb because the present tannins carry the strong meat and the acidity gives braised sauces freshness. A venison ragout or a leg of lamb with rosemary is an obvious partner. With veal, it sets a hearty counterpoint, especially with braised roasts.

With pasta, the acidity comes into play: it keeps up with tomato-based sauces and ragù. In the glass, it is best served at 16 to 18 °C.

Occasions are mainly in the cooler half of the year: the Sunday roast in autumn, the game dish in winter, dinner with friends at a long table.

Similar red wines to the Vitiano

Those who want to stick with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot but try a different origin will find three dry alternatives here.

  • Cecchi La Mora Rosso Maremma Toscana DOC also comes from Italy, but from the Maremma. It is the right choice if you want to stay loyal to Italy and get to know another region.
  • Chateau Tartuguiere Médoc comes from Bordeaux and relies on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot without Sangiovese. It suits you if you prefer the French style.
  • Agneau Rouge Bordeaux from Baron Philippe de Rothschild is also a dry Bordeaux made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is an alternative for anyone looking for a Bordeaux from this house.

The Winery

Az. Vinicola Falesco

Already in the 60s, a small cantina was created, which mainly served for self-production and was founded by Antonio and Domenico Cotarella. In 1979, the hobby became a real winery that received the name "Falesco" and whose goal was initially to maintain the old vine stocks in the region. 20 years later, production is so successful that the Marcialano agricultural business can be purchased with another 260 hectares of land.

This is located on a hill in the region around Orvieto - which belongs to the municipalities of Montecchio and Baschi. In 2016, the generational change took place: Dominga, Marta, and Enrica took the helm. In 2017, the last winery for the time being, "Le Macioche", was acquired in Tuscany.
