ARTISAN is our wine dedicated to indigenous Romanian varieties specific to the area of Dealu Mare. They bare the fingerprint and personality of our oenologist Aurelia Visinescu. Their aim is not to be perfect or conform to a common standard but to be expressive of the land they come from. They are wines with identity, living wines.
