Throughout this entire oenological offer, which reflects, within a limited territory, the whole country's winemaking ability, Oltenia may be considered, and rightly so, a small viticultural Romania. It is not by accident that we chose the 'Fetească neagră’ variety, as it is considered a close descendant of the wild grape vine (which may be admired in the forests of Oltenia); it is considered the most representative local variety for high-quality red wines, a variety the origin of which has been lost over time. In essence, the nature of the climate here remains favorable to the 'Fetească neagră’ variety, which seems well adjusted to the vine training system with fruiting woody shoot of 12 buds and the grape yield obtained and all of the wine's quality parameters meet the necessary for obtaining high-quality wines.
