Romania, Muntenia
Feteasca Neagra
Description
The three black girls, fruits of our vineyard’s most gifted years, 2014, 2015 si 2016, have first met the artistry of our oenologist Aurelia Visinescu, who then left them with the Romanian oak, where they gained vanilla aromas and fine tannins. The long elegant legs leave the full ruby color body to indulge into the smoky dried plum taste, figs and wild fruits, on the soft path of dark chocolate.
