ORIGIN:

The Negru de Dragasani grape variety was obtained at the Dragasani viticulture research station through individual selection. It is a hybrid, officially recognized in 1993, between the Negru Vartos and Saperavi varieties (a native grapevine from Georgia, commonly used in blends to produce high-quality red wines). The grape has a black-blueish color, with red-colored, juicy, non-aromatic pulp and a straightforward taste. Wines produced from this variety are dry, more robust, strikingly red, with flavors and aromas of black cherries, sour cherries, blueberries, blackberries, and spices. They are suitable for aging in oak barrels and subsequently in bottles.

TASTING:

With its mesmerizing ruby red color, this wine reveals dominant aromas of red fruits in its bouquet. The taste is a delightful harmony, featuring well-balanced notes of ripe tannins, along with delicate hints of vanilla, chocolate, and pepper. Best enjoyed at 14-16°C, it promises a sophisticated and captivating wine experience, embodying a symphony of flavors for the discerning palate.

Description

Folklore Ursul Negru de Dragasani Red Wine

Taking place every winter in villages and cities in Romania’s eastern region of Moldova, the ‘Dance of the Bear’ symbolizes the death and rebirth of time. Performed between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, this ancient ritual brings together the whole community, who gather to watch the performance. For Geto-Dacians, ancestors of present-day Romanians, the bear was a sacred animal with healing powers. The life cycle of the bear was responsible for regulating seasons, entering hibernation before winter and waking up in spring.
