The composition of the soil along with the specific climate of the “Codru” wine region has created excellent conditions for the production of high-quality white wines as well as for the production of exceptional sparkling wines. White-grained grapes are grown on the slopes of the region, covering about 63% of the total area producing PGI wine products. The remaining 37% is covered by black-grained grapes. The predominant varieties here are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Rhein Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc.

The white wines produced in the Codru region have a lemon-yellow colour with green re-flections which at maturity becomes straw-yellow to golden. At the olfactory level they are charac-terised by freshness, well-pronounced aromatic complexity, accentuated minerals and a prominent fruity floral bouquet. All these flavours create a delicious taste which ex-presses the freshness of summer fruits. The sparkling wines, depending on the varieties used in the blends, are characterised by straw yellow to golden yellow colour for whites, by a pale pink to pink colour for rosé wines and by a red to ruby red colour for red wines. Characteristic of the sparkling wines is a long beading and an abundant foaming. The bouquet is fine and floral, and the taste is round and ample. Red wines are characterised by a red, ruby colour (or nuances of cherry and pomegranate) with purple reflections that turn to brick as a result of maturation. They have a unique fine bouquet with notes of red berries (black currant, raspberry, blackberry, cherries, and wild plums) and sweet spices (cinnamon and fatty red pepper). Their taste is light, supple, round, and velvety. The liqueur wines have a rich bouquet, primarily resulting from technological production pro-cesses, characterised by transient notes of nuts, dried fruits, and flowers. In the case of white wines, these nuances might also be reminiscent of plums. The reds may include hints of chocolate.
