About this product
Romania's signature red variety — Fetească Neagră (Black Maiden) — at its finest expression from Dealu Mare's south-facing Carpathian hillsides. Deep ruby-black with aromas of dark plum, dried violet, black cherry, and a distinctive earthy-mineral note from the region's limestone-clay soils. The palate is medium-full with soft, velvety tannins, vibrant natural acidity, and a long, savoury finish of dark fruit and Carpathian herb.
