Falesco is a winery and vineyard established in Montefiascone, Italy in 1979. It has been described as a "state-of-the-art winery"[1] and its production facilities are now located in Montecchio. It's a family owned business, currently run by Riccardo Cotarella, his daughter Dominga, and his brother Renzo. Falesco contains 670 acres, 370 of which are vineyards. Annual production is almost 3 million bottles.[2] The estate straddles the border of Lazio and Umbria, about 50 miles (80.5 km) north of Rome.[3]
