Description
The Falesco Syrah Tellus was born from the Cotarella family, who with enthusiasm and love for the land founded the Falesco winery in 1979 with the aim of recovering the ancient vines of the upper Lazio area. The family's evolution led to the debut of the Tellus Syrah in Montefiascone, where it all began, in 2008. This wine is born from a love for its roots, the constant search for innovation and curiosity, and the study of the terroirs of the production areas to fully understand their potential.
The Falesco Syrah Tellus is the synthesis of the principles on which the company is based, with a great balance in terms of both sugar and phenolic content. It is composed entirely of grapes from the Syrah grape grown on medium-textured sandy soil and before fermentation it receives a maceration on the skins for 4 or 5 days to gain freshness and fragrance. Subsequently, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel for about 15 days, preceding the malolactic fermentation in wood, which gives it softness, persistence and adds finer aromas, particularly vanilla.
A curiosity, for this particular label, the Cotarella family wanted to create a union between art and taste through a collaboration with the Bambino Gesù pediatric hospital, thanks to which an educational space immersed in nature was created which led to the creation, by the little artists, of this special label.
