Purely romanian wines - Casa de Vinuri Cotnari

The Cotnari Wine House has its roots in the ancient Romanian times, while the native varieges made rumors among the rulers and competed on the large boyars’ tables. The emblem of the Cotnari Wine House captures Vlădoianu Castle, built in 1901 by Vlădoianu himself, a former BNR governor and distinguished viticultor, as a pure inspiration in the wine story. A story about the craft of winemaking, about success, about pure Romanian wines from COLOCVIU, Cotnari DOMENII and IRIS.

“Taste … and listen to the wine story …”

The Colloquium redefines the purity and noble taste specific to Romanian varieties.
These wines are a true proof of innovation, a living message of harmony between carefully selected grapes
of the best parcels of the Cotnari vineyard and the vision of the oenologist oriented towards modernism,
reflected under Cotnari Wine House.

The Cotnari Domains range conquers you, carrying you unimaginable peaks.
The sun, the water, the wind, the tradition and, last but not least, the courage, create these perfect wines.
It touches the heights of success by opening the vision to a new world.

Be free, redefine your spirit, listen to your heart …

The surface exploited by Cotnari Wine House is composed of Fetească Neagră – 100 ha, Busuioacă – 75 ha, Tămâioasă Românească – 75 ha, Grasă de Cotnari – 50 ha and Fetească Albă – 50 ha. Being a premium producer of quality grapes, Cotnari Wine Plantations have been set up with state-of-the-art technology, aiming at a low plant density (3646 plants per hectare), a great distance between rows, (3 meters) which allows for efficient air circulation and modern works. The vineyard works are carried out so that the amount of grapes harvested per hectare does not exceed 6 tons (Grass of Cotnari, Tămâioasă Românească, Fetească Albă, Busuioacă) and 5 tons (Fetească Neagră) with a minimum of 230 grams of sugar.

Wine, a century of story

Revive the #PurelyRomanian Spirit!

We revive the story of the Romanian wine that was born at the initiative of the second generation of Cotnari!

The first Busuioaca dry vinified

An oenological revelation and a glimpse into the new world made the Busuioaca de Bohotin to raise the admiration of wine lovers. Dry vinified… no one expected to be.

When you say Grasa, it's Cotnari

Grasa de Cotnari dry vinified defines art in its various forms, being a challenge for connoisseurs. A wine that harmoniously embraces that unmistakably seductive scent.

A millenary variety

The Fetească Neagră seeds found in the amphora of the Neolithic period encouraged us to replant it. The one present today, dry vinified, our ancestors would like to taste it!

Discover the wine

We define the pure Romanian spirit with passion, giving the taster a rare aromatic complexity.

It is good to choose Romanian wines in general, and as a novelty we have exceptional wines, such as Grass Cotnari vinified in dry, with unmatched freshness and fruity, wine that we can associate with appetizers at the beginning of the meal.

Sergiu Nedelea

Sommelier

I'm glad that Cotnari's wine comes out again. The best-selling wine, Grasa de Cotnari, is known not only on the national market, but also on the international market. The quality of the wine can not exceed the quality of the grapes.

Valeriu V. Cotea

Prof. Dr. Univ.

Departing from the hillsides of Cotnari to the whole world, the wines here carry a special story. The scent of the tradition, scalded in time, combines the strong taste of the blessed nature with a coloration that, in the case of white varieties, reminds of the clarity of a September noon. Glowing and incandescent like spring time and late autumn, the rosé varieties show, as image, the cycle of life and the joy of the harvest. The depth and virtue of red varieties reminiscent of the warmth of the old stories, said at the mouth of the stoves under the heat of the cold days.

Cotnari wines mean time and season. Let’s continue to enjoy the journey!

Wines are appreciated by those who have known them, are extractive, with strong, vibrant flavors, leaving you with a strong impression that you cannot forget too soon. If you taste a drop of Cotnari - you know Romania and understand it.

Cătălin Păduraru

CEO IWCB ROMANIA

About Romania you cannot find out everything from books. You have to cross it long and wide. About Cotnari wines you cannot say you know them if you do not drink them, drop by drop ... and once tasted, you learn the history, varieties and tradition of our country.

Marian Timofti

President of OSR2011

We welcomed the new wines from Cotnari from the first year of harvest, and Busuioaca dry vinified became my first option on the list to amaze my foreign guests. The effect has always been guaranteed. Second option, just as safe - Grasa dry. Congratulations to young people who are revolutionizing Cotnari.

Wines are a surprise and a great bet with dry wine lovers. However, it is almost impossible not to recognize the aromas and the taste of Moldovan wines or to confuse them. Dry, semi dry or sweet, in the glass you find their tradition.

IInvesting in Romanian varieties is our chance to become a country brand on the world wine market. The expression of the new generation of Cotnari wines gives force to Romania! I am delighted with the experiences lived with these wines, but especially I am excited about what the new old Cotnari will offer us!

Tudor Balan

Pivot Noir - Your wine guide

At Cotnari I met people with vision, with labor power, human relationships reached at the decades old multinational level. I saw a flexible, open-minded attitude, the latest technology - pillars that show the huge potential of the representative producer of the Iasi area - confronted with the fineness and elegance of the wines of the last years.

Mihai Vasile

An area of great historic importance, a cradle of traditions, a vineyard whose origins are lost in the darkness of time. The Cotnari vineyard supplies us through the Cotnari Wine House, a range of extraordinary Romanian varieties with a special acidity, freshness and unmistakable flavors. The dry and semi-dry wines of varieties that have not been so vinified until now, are pleasant to any consumer.

Iulian Grigorescu

CEO Pistoane Baricate

There are not known many things about Romanian wines, but about Cotnari, at least once in a lifetime, it's impossible not to have heard. The new generation, the technology, but also the choice to produce wines from Romanian native varieties create a harmonious symbiosis between the modern approach and the deep respect for tradition. The wine style of this wine cellar is clean, elegant and authentic.
