{"product_id":"montiano-lazio-igp-magnum","title":"Montiano Lazio IGP Magnum","description":"\u003cp\u003eMontiano is considered a prime example of what Merlot can achieve in Lazio – concentrated, warm, with a vinification that creates depth rather than heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003eCotarella family\u003c\/strong\u003e from Montecchio in Umbria, right on the border with Lazio, has been one of the most influential names in Central Italy for decades. Riccardo Cotarella – one of Italy\u0026#39;s most influential oenologists – developed Montiano as the family\u0026#39;s flagship project: a single-varietal Merlot from Lazio that demonstrates the region\u0026#39;s capabilities far beyond Frascati. Volcanic soils, hot summers, and cool nights provide the foundation for this concentrated wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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 – signs of barrel 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003emagnum bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e matures more slowly than the standard bottle – ideal if you plan to cellar the wine for another 3–5 years.
