THE STORY
Hot, endless whispers harvested from trembling red lips in the middle of the night tell the story of the cold, dark grapes blood rushing in the veins of those brave enough to indulge themselves into the powerful Reign of Legendary Dracula.
VINEYARD:
For over 2000 years Dealurile Vrancei has yielded some of the finest wines in Eastern Europe. An alternation of flat and hilly lands, with heights between 100 and 300 m, V-E orientation, with exposure and slope ensures the optimal conditions for the cultivation of vines. Solar radiation has average annual values of over 120 Kcal / cmp in most regions with values exceeding 140 Kcal / cmp in areas with southern exposure. The particularities of the soil, the balanced humidity and the excellent sun exposure provided by its location result in a wine with the highest acidity in the country.
WINEMAKER:
George Vasile is our enologist for 6 years, with supervision from wine expert Giovanni Menotti, a famous wine consultant from Veneto, Italy with over 40 years of experience in wine production. George is a dedicated enologist especially for production of premium wines, both red and white. Together we form a great team with the only purpose of putting Vrancea on the map of great Romanian wines.
