Barza Alba

Barza Alba Distillery

The history of Barza Albă company in the Bălți municipality started in 1944.

At the beginning, the company carried out its activity as a small grape processing unit, located on the outskirts of the Bălți city. Over 75 years of operation Barza Albă (White Stork) JSC has become the embodiment of the rich winemaking traditions of the Republic of Moldova. The company has a high production potential and a representative portfolio of Divins aged from 3 to 50 years. The high quality of Barza Albă Divins was ensured by generations of specialists dedicated to the art and traditions of Divin production who carried out ennobling of the wine distillates via aging in barrels. The company participated in numerous international exhibitions and tasting competitions and our products were awarded over 150 medals, out of which 80 are gold, 10 are “Grand Prix” and, finally, Star AWARD was obtained for outstanding quality indicators.

Asconi

Asconi Winery

Asconi is a family winery which was founded in 1994 and remains a family-owned business.

Our goal is to make a good wine using all available modern technologies maintaining traditions of previous generations. It is also our wish to share our achievements with local and foreign visitors of our company.

“All winemaking starts with grapes and an authentic winery should have its own vineyards. This is why we planted over 500 hectares of vines and that took us over 10 years. Our vineyards are located near Geamana village, in the Anenii Noi district, 10 kilometres from the winery. We produce a wide range of white, red, and dry rose wines, dessert wines and fortified wines. Most red wines are aged in 225 litre oak barrels. Primarily, we use only American or Hungarian oak and less – French oak. Most white wines fall into the fresh style category, except for Chardonnay and Riesling, which are fermented or matured in oak.”
