The Spumante Crna Penina of Cotar is a refined representative of Slovenian sparkling wines, born in the evocative area of the Slovenian Collio, a territory known for its wine-growing tradition and the richness of its limestone and clay soils. This sparkling wine captivates with its traditional production method, which enhances the finesse of the bubbles and guarantees a persistent and lively perlage.

Made mainly with selected indigenous grape varieties, it presents a color ranging from bright straw yellow to golden reflections, an expression of the elegance and freshness that characterize this wine. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet alternating floral and fruity scents, with slight notes of bread crust typical of the refermentation. On the palate, the minerality of the territory emerges gracefully, providing balance and a pleasant final savoriness that invites sip after sip.

The Spumante Crna Penina of Cotar is ideal to accompany seafood appetizers, fish and shellfish dishes, but also sophisticated aperitifs where lightness and structure harmoniously meet. A wine that expresses the unique character of the Slovenian Collio through the magic of its bubbles.

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.
