Falesco - Syrah Queen	Montiano Merlot Lazio IGP	2015		Nov-2019
Review “The Montiano is a 100% single-vineyard Merlot grown in the Montiano parcel in Montefiascone, Lazio. The volcanic, mineral-rich soil of the Montiano vineyard and a rigorous hand selection of these grapes, contribute to Montiano’s solid structure and concentration. This is one of the most sought after wines from Central Italy, which is a perennial favorite of red wine collectors worldwide.”

Review “This savory Merlot opens with aromas of mature black-skinned fruit, nutmeg and a whiff of green peppercorn. The concentrated, full-bodied palate delivers blackberry jam, mocha and tobacco alongside fine-grained tannins
Falesco - Wine Enthusiast	Sodale Merlot Lazio IGP	2016	88	Sep-2019
Review “Aromas of cedar, vanilla and black-skinned fruit come together on this 100% Merlot. The forward palate offers blackberry jam, mocha and clove alongside pliant tannins.”
Falesco - Wine Spectator	Montiano Merlot Lazio IGP	2016	90	Jul-2019
Review “A subtle, tarry vein of smoky mineral underscored the steeped black raspberry and crème de cassis fruit flavors in the grippy, medium-to full-bodied red, while dried herb and woodsy spice notes linger on the creamy finish.”

Review “Dill-laced green olive notes meet crushed black cherry fruit in this balanced, medium-bodied red, with light tannins on the spiced finish.”
Falesco - Vinous	Ferentano Lazio IGT	2016	88	Jul-2019
Review “Good full yellow. Slightly unforthcoming on the nose, displaying a peppery quality to the citrus, baked bread and apple aromas. Bright and juicy, with high-ish acidity buffered by fleshy pineapple and banana flavors. Long and zingy on the youthfully lean finish. I have been a great fan over the years of 100% Roscetto, but recent vintages seem to me to be more marked by acidity and a little leaner than in the past.”
Falesco - Vinous	Sodale Merlot Lazio IGP	2016	90	Jun-2019
Review “Good full ruby. Very ripe aromas of red cherry, blackberry, violet and coffee. Bright, juicy and lively, with tactile but suave and slightly simple flavors of blue fruits, flowers and herbs. Finishes soft and long with good floral lift. 100% Merlot grown at 300 meters a.s.l. on clay-calcareous soils, stainless steel-fermented and aged nine months in new French barriques.”
Falesco - Vinous	Montiano Merlot Lazio IGP	2016	92	Jun-2019
Review “Nicely saturated ruby. Blackcurrant, graphite, coffee and bitter chocolate on the nose. Then fruity and pure, with lovely cut to the dark berry, coffee and mineral flavors. Bright but nicely integrated acidity and polished tannins extend and support the flavors on the long, suave back end. Fresher and less jammy than other past Montiano bottlings, this is actually a very noteworthy, big but light on its feet Merlot. Well done.”

Review Featured wine in the Opera Wine tasting in Verona, Italy in April 2019.
Falesco - Jamessuckling.com	Ferentano Lazio IGT	2016	91	Oct-2018
Review “A lot of lemony freshness in the nose and on the medium-weight palate. Then, an interesting buttery note balances the touch of tannin at the finish.”
