Vinum Winery

Vinum is a young brand with century-old historical roots.

The enterprise is a family business with a vast and long tradition in wine production. Its history started two centuries earlier in 1806 when ancestors of today’s owners due to a quirky fate moved from north-eastern Bulgaria to Southern Basarabia (former name of the Republic of Moldova). Since then, nine generations of the same family stayed close to the grapes. From father to son, they share their rich knowledge and experience in growing grapes and producing quality wine. The current generation of the family has over 20 years of experience in the field.

Vinum wines are individually produced, under strict supervision, at a mini winery in the centre of the Republic of Moldova. Manual harvesting along with minimum processing of grapes allow producers to bring and preserve their freshness, aroma, and taste, to be enjoyed by any connoisseur of quality wines.

After benefitting from years of experience in Moldovan winemaking in combination with modern international technologies, these wines represent the embodiment of fertile soils, people’s efforts and the soul inserted in each glass of wine.

Romanesti Winery

Romanesti Winery

In 1850, the Russian emperor Alexander I, based on a royal decree, established His Majesty’s Winery Romanesti, located in Codrii (the Woods) of Moldova. The winery was developed with the direct input of French winemakers.

In 1917 it became the property of the Basarabian dynasty winemaker, I.V. Cristi, who di-versified the assortment of grapes grown for wine production, along with those for pro-duction of Divins. Thus, in this largest and most technologically advanced company in the region, a section for Divin production was launched, according to the French cognac pro-duction technology. The vineyards of Romanesti estate are located in the central area of the Republic of Moldova, in the Codri forest. Romanesti micro zone is located at the same latitude as Burgundy. The geographical configuration of this micro zone is genuine-ly unique. The hills in the interfluvial space of Cogâlnic and Lunga rivers create a kind of a “cup” which is protected from cold winds. The climatic conditions and soils in this micro zone favour the production of dry red wines, white table wines and aged wines. It is difficult to predict the future, but producers still assume that memories of Romanesti wines’ taste with their harmony, special freshness and unique aroma will become popular and appreciated again, as they did in the times of the Russian Empire.
