The 2011 Ferentano offers a unique prospective on Roscetto, an indigenous white grape that is now slowly edging into the spotlight, thanks in great measure to this wine. Cryomaceration techniques are implemented to preserve aromatic freshness, and the wine later sees four months of oak for a bigger mouthfeel. It opens with a light golden color and well-shaped aromas of exotic fruit, peach, honey, butter and a distant powdering of white mineral. It’s an ambitious and articulate wine that pushes the outer boundaries of white wine making in Lazio and Umbria. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.
Riccardo Cotarella’s Falesco straddles the Umbria-Lazio boarder and makes wines from both regions. Today his children and son-in-law all work with him at the winery.
