Montiano Lazio IGP Magnum

Montiano Lazio IGP Magnum
The Montiano is considered a prime example of what Merlot can achieve in Lazio – concentrated, warm, with an aging process that creates depth instead of heaviness.
The Famiglia Cotarella from Montecchio in Umbria, right on the border with Lazio, has been one of the defining names in Central Italy for decades. Riccardo Cotarella – one of Italy's most influential oenologists – developed the Montiano as the family's flagship project: a varietal Merlot from Lazio that shows that the region is capable of much more than Frascati. Volcanic soils, hot summers, and cool nights provide the basis for this concentration.
In the glass: dark ruby red with a violet rim. On the nose, blackberry jam, black cherry, and a distinct hint of vanilla and cedar wood – signs of barrique aging. On the palate, dense and full; the tannins are ripe and velvety, the acidity well-integrated. The finish lingers with clove and dark chocolate.
The magnum bottle matures more slowly than the standard bottle – ideal if you want to let the wine lie for another 3–5 years. Serving temperature 17–18 °C.
- Pairs with Brasato al Barolo or braised lamb shank
- Mature Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano
- Table wine for special occasions where the large bottle is the main event
