The Falesco Winery was only established in 1979 in Montefiascone on territory which had previously supplied Roman aristocracy and Popes with wine. Here, painstaking research went into identifying the best microclimates and soil composition before the vines were planted. The winery belongs to two brothers, Riccardo and Renzo Cotarello, and is located in Montefiascone, on the shores of the Lake of Bolsena. However, a large part of the vineyards lies in the region of Umbria and this is why some consider Falesco among the leading wineries of Latium, others of Umbria. The first wine produced in a new state-of-the-art vineyard was the Est! Est! Est!, closely followed by the iconic Montiano, a brilliant Merlot. The recent acquisition of the Marciliano estate in Umbria has allowed for further experimentation under the skilled stewardship of Riccardo, one of the Italy's most renowned winemakers. Made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc this wine is aged 16 months in barrel followed by an additional 12 months in bottle before release. A deep red coloured wine with aromas of dark forrest fruits that lead onto the palate. This blend is well balanced with good tanninic structure and lingering finish. (6 x 75 cl)

The Pallavicini family have been in Lazio since the second half of the 17th Century, and as such their story is linked with that of the region in a range of agricultural activities. The vineyards are situated in the picturesque hills south of Rome and on the Mediterranean coast next to the Tuscan border. There are currently 78 ha under vine but, due to strong demand from abroad for the wines, expansion is currently taking place. The sites are meticulously matched to the grape varieties, which is a mix of both traditional and international varietals. Among the principle white varieties can be found: Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia del Lazio, Malvasia di Candia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Greco, Grechetto, Bonvino. While, the red cultivars include: Sangiovese, Cesanese, Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Montepulciano, Ciliegiolo and Petit Verdot. Today the traditions of the Pallavicini estate have been merged with the latest oenological practises ensuring the highest standard of wine production. The grapes are handled with great care as the 25 year old Sangiovese vines are managed to deliver reduced yields, undergo a prolonged maceration with the skins; and finally aged in cask. This has produced a deep red coloured with intense spicy scents with hint of cherry. A balanced wine it is medium bodied and enveloping (12 x 75 cl)
