The Spumante Bela di Cotar is born from the suggestive hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a land rich in winemaking tradition and Central European influences. This sparkling wine is characterized by the skillful use of native and international grape varieties, carefully selected to express freshness and liveliness. The aging takes place through the Charmat method, which preserves the intensity of the aromas and gives fine and persistent bubbles.

In the glass, it presents a bright straw-yellow color, enriched by an elegant and persistent perlage. The olfactory profile reveals fruity hints of green apple, pear, and citrus, accompanied by slight floral notes that confer harmony and balance. On the palate, it stands out for a pleasant freshness, liveliness, and a slightly savory finish, inviting sip after sip.

This Spumante Bela is perfect as an aperitif but also pairs successfully with delicate fish dishes, appetizers, and light first courses. A versatile wine that best embodies the spirit of the Friulian territories, ideal for moments of conviviality and refined simplicity.

Winery history
The Cotar family’s story began with the local restaurant business: Branko started making wine from grapes harvested in the family vineyards for the osteria, with initial production already in the 1970s; bottling for wider sale took place in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Over time the operation developed with the construction of a cellar partially carved into the rock and the involvement of the next generation.
Production philosophy
Production oriented toward minimal intervention: respect for the soil and biodiversity, organic or biodynamic practices reported by multiple sources, spontaneous fermentations, and limited or no use of sulfites. The approach aims to express the character of the Carso through wines with a strong sense of place.
Terroir and vineyards
Located on the Carso plateau in Gorjansko, a few kilometres from the sea. Vineyards on terra rossa are exposed to winds such as the Mornik and the Bora, which influence ripening and organoleptic character.
