Famiglia Cotarella 2017 Brunello di Montalcino – Tuscany, Italy
100% Sangiovese

The Famiglia Cotarella 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a beautifully crafted expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most respected winemaking families. Deep ruby red in color, this Brunello immediately impresses with its complexity and aromatic depth—showing layers of ripe red fruit, spice, aromatic herbs, dried flowers, and a touch of ginger.

On the palate, the wine is both silky and vibrant, displaying exceptional tannin balance and impressive sapidity. Concentrated yet surprisingly fresh for the warm 2017 vintage, it reveals excellent depth, purity, and a long, persistent finish that hints at significant aging potential.

This release marks an exciting chapter for the estate, representing one of the earliest vintages fully overseen by the Cotarella family—one of Italy’s most influential dynasties in modern winemaking.

Professional Ratings

⭐ 93 – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“A pretty wine with managed ripeness and pinpoint technical approach. Bright berry intensity and preserved freshness. A polished, impressive Brunello.”

⭐ 92 – Wine Enthusiast

“Full-bodied and enveloping with Morello cherry, blood orange, licorice and firm tannins. Smooth concentration and aging potential through 2028.”

⭐ 92 – Wine & Spirits

“Earthy, savory, complex. Dark cherry, cinnamon, and anise with lingering spice notes. A perfect companion for bistecca.”

⭐ 91 – Decanter

“Appealing cocoa and balsamic herbs on the nose. Juicy, mid-weight palate with purity of fruit and firm structure. Savory finish with vintage-marked tannins.”

⭐ 90 – Wine Spectator

“Plum, cherry, tobacco and spice on a long, structured finish. Best from 2024–2040.”

About Famiglia Cotarella

For three generations, Famiglia Cotarella has shaped Italian winemaking—from early work preserving indigenous varieties in Umbria and Lazio to producing internationally acclaimed wines across central Italy. In 2017, the third generation—Dominga, Marta, and Enrica—took full leadership of the estate, rebranding from Falesco to Famiglia Cotarella and expanding their focus to include refined Brunello di Montalcino. This 2017 release is among the first under their direct stewardship.
