FAMIGLIACOTARELLA Lazio & Umbria

Table 26

Two of Italy’s most acclaimed winemakers, brothers Riccardo and Renzo Cotarella, founded the Falesco winery in 1979. Their philosophy was focused on balancing the uniqueness and tradition of native varietals with the versatility of international grapes. The result was a complete portfolio of wines that consumers and critics alike have recognized as exhibiting extreme value and Best of Class offerings. In late 2016 brothers Renzo and Riccardo made history by officially handing the reigns of the enterprise over to the next generation—daughters Dominga, Marta, and Enrica. With this transition to the next stage in the Cotarella family’s story the family has decided to transition out the brand name of Falesco, and focus instead on the importance of family, thus re- imagining the family brand as “Famiglia Cotarella.”
