Basavin Winery

Founded in 1913, the Basavin Winery produces wines of a highest quality, based on the rich terroir, characteristic for the southern region of the country.

The wines have been appreciated at different wine competitions where they obtained numerous national and international medals. The Via Veliu vineyard is the basic source of the grapes. It is located in the Ștefan Vodă area, which is a protected geographical indication region, famous for the production of the most popular wines such as Rara Neagră, Fetească Neagră, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon blanc and Rosés.

The company owns about 200 hectares of vineyards where quality control is carried out throughout the production cycle. Mr. Valeriu Dragnev took over the leadership of the Basavin Winery in 1996 and brought with him the vision of creating a product able to align with top international wines. Basavin Winery has a firm conviction that wines should represent their local origin, be a product of the soil and the climate, and most importantly, of a cultivation with care. The winery’s motto is “ensure the balance of new technologies with the winemaking traditions”.
