The Cotarella clan acquired this boutique winery a few years back, and I’m pretty sure they have transitioned out of the overlap wine made by the previous owners by this point. What you get here is a pretty wine with managed ripeness and a pinpoint, technical approach to tannic management, texture and preserved freshness. It radiates with bright berry intensity. I can’t wait to taste the next vintages they have in store for us. – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Cotarella Magic Hits Montalcino • First Vintage from the Sisters’ Era
The Cotarella family rewrote Italian winemaking history with Montiano; now three brilliant sisters just turned a sleepy three-hectare Montalcino estate into their personal masterpiece.
Their very first Brunello under the Famiglia Cotarella banner landed with the precision of a guided missile, instantly joining the conversation among Montalcino’s elite.
Hand-picked Sangiovese Grosso from fifty-year-old vines, wild yeast fermentation, then three unhurried years in giant Slavonian casks that polish the edges while preserving explosive freshness.
Bright cherry fireworks detonating over a core of velvet that refuses to quit
This is aristocratic power that normally disappears into private cellars and Michelin-star lists before mortals even hear about it.
Grab the new legend while the gate is still open.
