Our wine estate is located in the ancient Castello di Cosa, sections of which date back to the year 1000. Located a few kilometers from Spilimbergo, world-renowned for its production of mosaics, this magnificent fortress was built to guard the territories along the banks of the area’s largest river, the Tagliamento, which divides the entire region in two.
The building underwent numerous changes through the years. In World War I, it housed a military garrison and was heavily bombed by Austrian artillery during the retreat towards the river Piave.

In 1921 it was restored, but into a Palladian-style villa rather than a fortress. After passing into the possession of a noble Friulan family that fell onto hard times following World War II, the property was abandoned and the structure began rapidly to fall apart. In 1974, now in very poor condition, it was purchased by Franco Furlan; in 1978 it became the premises of his winery and the “Castelcosa” wine brand.
Today, wines continue to be produced here, but now the splendid palace with its Venetian tile floors, its large frescoes and spacious, elegant halls, is also the scene of exhibitions, concerts, conferences, and weddings.

For the pleasure of our many guests and clients who come here from all over the world, we have converted into guest quarters an old stone horse-barn; it boasts a local-style taverna with the obligatory fogolar, the fireplace around which Friulan family life has always taken place.
A very old and attractive rock wall embraces the guest house and a grove of centuries-old trees where our guests and vistors are welcome to relax and enjoy their leisure.
