Terrano Cotar grows on the red earth of the Karst. The almost 30 years old vineyards and an extremely low yield are right about the importance of this great Osteria wine. The grapes are destemmed, then with a light pressing the skins are macerated in the must for 10 days in open vats. Spontaneous fermentation generally lasts until the new year. The wine rests for more than 40 months in 20hl oak barrels.

Three Senses

The deep ruby red color has the characteristic purplish tones of the grape variety given also by the particular red soil of the Karst; the aromas focus on red fruit and particularly cherries, blueberries and blackberry with a distinct floral note of violet. The great velvety freshness blends well with the alcohol content and slight tannicity giving body to a special and unique wine, a worthy son of the terroir.PairingsExcellent with cured Karst ham, but it is also perfect with barbecued pork ribs, grilled sausages, various roasts and saucy game as well as fatty cheeses.

Cotar

The vineyards and the cellar of the Cotar company are located to the west of the Karst region, in the village of Gorjansko, about 5 km from the sea. Although the family had a vineyard tradition, the farm was born out of nowhere. Approximately 30 years ago, the first wines were produced for consumption at the owner's hut, teran (terrano) and white karso (karko belo).

Noting that the two works were too tiring, the Cotar family chose the vineyard and decided to keep the inns exclusively for lunches on reservation. The first productions were bottled in 1990 (1988). The care of the vineyards and the cellar passes into the hands of the next generation, Branko and Vasja, but wine is always produced in the same way as it was done by their grandparents. Today the winery has expanded considerably, the underground tunnel is sacral where the barrels are stored for the maturation of the wine. A natural environment excavated in the rock, where yeasts flourish in the air and constitute a unique heritage for the Cotar family. To this you have to combine the energy of the vintners and the whole family to achieve the wonderful result we know in every single bottle.
