Montiano Lazio IGP 2019 Magnum: Elegant Merlot by Famiglia Cotarella

Montiano Lazio IGP 2019 Magnum is a red wine with great personality crafted by Famiglia Cotarella, offered in a wooden case and designed for those seeking an important, refined wine with a strong identity. Made from 100% Merlot, it tells a modern vision of Italian wine, capable of combining fruit maturity, balance, and drinkability.

Territory and wine style

The production area between Montefiascone and Castiglione in Teverina, in Lazio, offers favorable conditions for the complete ripening of the grapes. The vineyards are located about 300 meters above sea level and are rooted in volcanic soils, rich in skeleton, elements that help define a solid yet elegant profile. The Montiano Lazio IGP 2019 comes from 15-year-old vines, trained in guyot, with limited yield and manual selection of the best grapes. After fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in French oak barriques, a process that enriches its complexity without overshadowing the character of the fruit.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it expresses aromas of red fruit, cherry, and blackberry, accompanied by a pleasant sensation of varietal sweetness and a discreet integration with the wood. The palate is round, soft, intense, and silky, with a gentle and well-polished tannic structure. The finish is persistent, elegant, and very pleasant, with a harmonious style that enhances the natural richness of the Merlot.

Recommended pairings

The Montiano Lazio IGP 2019 Magnum pairs well with roasted or grilled red meats, fillet, braised dishes, light game, and flavorful but not overly spicy preparations. It also pairs nicely with pappardelle with ragù, porcini mushrooms, important white meats, and aged cheeses. Thanks to its softness, it can balance structured dishes rich in flavor.
