I am very pleased to offer a small parcel of one of my favourite wines to date; the superb flagship wine from the Falesco winery – Montiano. This gorgeous, 100% Merlot is a dead-ringer for a top-end Pomerol, made from old, low-yielding vineyards. The 1998 was their debut vintage and arguably their best so far, reflected by the high score given by Robert Parker.
Very rare. It is now fully mature and drinking superbly. My last bottle was back in February for a birthday lunch. I was blown away by its elegance, complexity, and length.
Parcel available until this Friday.
With kind regards,

“Cotarella's flagship wine, his 100% Merlot called Montiano, is aged in 100% new oak casks for 12 months, and bottled with neither fining nor filtration. The terrific opaque purple-colored 1998 Montiano exhibits a spectacular bouquet of black cherry liqueur, licorice, and toasty vanillin. The wine explodes on the palate, offering copious quantities of glycerin, cassis, black cherries, and blackberries. As it sits in the glass, aromas and flavors of melted chocolate and toasty oak emerge. The finish lasts for 40+ seconds. This 1998 should drink well for 10-15 years. Bravo!” Robert Parker, 94 Points
