Falesco – Est! Est! Est!!! di Montefiascone “Le Pòggere” 2024
Montefiascone, Lazio, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A historic and legendary white from Lazio, crafted under the DOP classification. This blend, traditionally based on Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia Bianca, and Rosetto, carries a legacy dating back to the year 1100, when a bishop’s servant famously marked tavern doors with “Est!” (meaning “it is”) to signal the best local wine.

Aromas & Flavors
On the nose, it is floral and fruity, with notes of green apple, citrus zest, white peach, and wildflowers, underscored by light herbal nuances. The palate is refreshing and crisp, showcasing lemon peel, green melon, and delicate almond on the finish.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied and zesty with a clean, mineral-driven structure. The bright acidity keeps it lively, while the subtle almond bitterness on the back end adds character and balance.

Winemaking Notes
Produced by Falesco (Famiglia Cotarella), one of the most respected wineries in Lazio. Stainless steel fermentation preserves purity, freshness, and aromatics, aligning with the classic style that has kept this DOC wine a regional staple for centuries.

Food Pairing
Perfect alongside grilled white fish, spaghetti alle vongole, light risotto, or fresh mozzarella with tomatoes and basil. Its crispness also makes it a great match for fried seafood or vegetable antipasti.

Verdict
A heritage-driven everyday white with historical charm and simple elegance. Casual, refreshing, and wallet-friendly, it’s a staple summer sipper with a story worth retelling at the table. — 2 months ago

Probably a little past it’s peak but still an excellent wine, silky smooth and elegant. Lots of sediment so definitely decant. — 3 years ago

A delicious, surprisingly savoury & structured Merlot from Lazio.
Dark plums, some blackberry & dark cherry character, but also an earthy, savoury underscore with some rocky notes, mocha, hints of roast.
Elegant & restrained on the palate with a good frame of polished tannins and juicy acidity. Very nice definition here and good substance.
Blind - a really good St. Emilion.
Sadly, priced equally high. — 3 years ago

栓を開けて香る芳醇な香りが風味の豊かさを予感させる。口に含んだ瞬間は力強く、舌に樽の香りを強めに感じさせる。その後鼻に抜ける香りの豊かさ。甘さ、苦さ、バターの風味、バランスが素敵。 — 3 years ago

A powerhouse out of the bottle, grippy, expressive, a long and vibrant finish. It mellows in the glass, losing a bit of precision, but maintains a complex flavor profile and satisfying balance. Stewed fruit, caramel, tobacco, Forrest floor, smoke. — 4 years ago
