Falesco was founded in 1979 by brothers Riccardo and Renzo Cotarella, two of Italy’s most acclaimed winemakers. Falesco’s philosophy is to strike a balance between the uniqueness and tradition of native varietals, and the versatility of ‘international’ grapes. The result is a complete portfolio of wines that consumers and critics alike have recognized as both extreme values and “Best of Class” offerings.

Falesco winery is located in Umbria in the municipality of Montecchio, nearby Orvieto in the Southern-Western area at the border with Lazio region. In Lazio, Falesco also maintains a cellar for the vinification of its DOC Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone. The region is bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea on the west and Italy’s mountainous center to the east. The dry, perfectly drained, volcanic terroir offers ideal growing conditions for textured reds and crisp, refreshing whites. The winery’s mission is manifold: to rediscover and promote Italy’s native varietals, to identify areas that have the ability to produce high quality wines due to their terroir, to perform ongoing research and experimentation in winemaking and vineyard management, and to continually improve the quality of all Falesco products. Countless worldwide accolades and the winery’s commercial success attest to the results achieved here.
