About the
producer
La Carraia was founded in
1976 by the Gialletti and Cotarella families. Riccardo Cotarella, one
of the world’s most respected authorities on the production and
marketing of Italian wines, is the co-owner and winemaker.
The winery owns a total of 198 acres located in the heart of the
Orvieto Classico appellation. 172 acres are dedicated to the production
of Orvieto Classico, the remainder are planted with Merlot, Sangiovese,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Montepulciano grapes. 1995 marked the first
release of Poggio Calvelli, a joint venture between La Carraia and
Winebow. This wine represents a new style of Orvieto Classico, one that
is aged in small oak barrels. Tizzonero and Fobiano, the two top shelf
wines produced at La Carraia, are known for consistent quality and
overall versatility. These wines are clearly two excellent examples of
Mr. Cotarella’s mastery with red grapes.
La Carraia, thanks to its broad and diverse portfolio, it is able to
satisfy the needs of both the casual, value oriented consumer with
products like Sangiovese and Orvieto Classico, as well as the most
demanding collector with a wine like Fobiano. |
