The Story
Falesco Montiano Lazio 2012 is a refined and mature Merlot that delivers depth, elegance, and balance. Deep garnet in color, it opens with aromas of leather, plumped currant, sandalwood, cocoa, and underbrush. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and well-knit, offering layers of dark fruit, spice, and earthy complexity supported by supple tannins and balanced acidity. Smooth and expressive, it finishes long with a firm, aromatic grip and lingering notes of cocoa and spice.
Food Pairing: Braised beef, roasted lamb, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.
90 Points - Wine Spectator
Medium- to full-bodied and well-knit, with an expressive mix of leather, plumped currant, sandalwood, cocoa powder and underbrush notes, framed by supple tannins that show good grip on the aromatic finish. Merlot. Drink now through 2026.
