“Marciliano” Cabernet Sauvignon Umbria IGT
Falesco has established its reputation by exploring not only the uniqueness and tradition of native varieties
but also the versatility of international grape varieties in new terroirs. Accordingly, Marciliano is a classic
blend of estate-grown Cabernets. To achieve extraordinary depth and concentration, the juice undergoes
a lengthy period of maceration followed by sixteen months in oak resulting in exquisite complexity and
refinement. The final wine is one of the greatest expressions of central Italian Cabernet.
“RC2” Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG
This silky and substantial red wine is made from 100% Sagrantino, a highly-esteemed grape, indigenous
to the Montefalco area of Umbria. Locals unanimously agree that the variety is at its finest in the hills
surrounding Gualdo Cattaneo. Here, the combination of microclimate, elevation, and unique soils makes it
possible to obtain wines of truly exceptional character. The wine name and label pay tribute to Riccardo
Cotarella’s first grandson, Riccardo Chiasso, who shares the initials, RC, with his grandfather.
