From volcanic soils in the Lazio region of Italy, bordering Tuscany and Umbria, where Romans planted grapes hundreds of years ago, Famiglia Cotarella crafts luscious, fruit-forward Merlot wine.

Cotarella Sodale Merlot shows notes of ripe red berries, red plum, woody herbs, wildflowers, and crushed stone minerality. It is a food-friendly, expressive wine with great energy, balancing crunchy tannin with fresh acidity, creating a complete, well-rounded palate. It is rich enough to enjoy with grilled meats or poultry while remaining fresh to ensure the palate is not weighed down. #Cheers
