Malolactic fermentation (the transformation of malic acid into lactic acid to reduce acidity) then takes place entirely in barriques.

The Lazio climate, warm but not excessively humid, allows the development of a wine awarded by Gambero Rosso, Veronelli and Bibenda, which have classified it as one of the best wines in terms of excellence for at least three years.","brand":"Famiglia Cotarella (Tenuta Montiano)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44511310250155,"sku":"46599","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/cotarella-montiano-2020_46599_1_960bb67c-f514-4110-9958-8cb8ce0acacb.webp?v=1773717914"},{"product_id":"cotarella-trentanni-2020","title":"Cotarella Trentanni 2020","description":"Umbria red wine with great elegance and depth, that can be distinguished for its uniqueness and softness.
