The wine is prepared entirely from grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Fetească Neagră varieties coming from the Dealu Mare wine region, Romania, the thirteenth wine producer in the world. Fetească Neagră (or Black Maiden in English) is an old native variety that originates from Moldova and Muntenia and is capable of producing some great wines of deep color, although the vine needs constant care. The later the grapes are picked, the better the results, and a constant trimming program to arrest the vigor produces excellent results.

Fetească Neagră is a bramble-fruited red with hints of soft cherry. It can vary greatly depending on terroir and oak influence; some can be earthy, while others can boast flavors of cappuccino and vanilla.”
