About the winemaker
“Fetească albă is an old, typical Romanian grape variety, although you can also find it in Moldova and even Hungary these days. The fact that this grape spreads so much is actually a miracle in itself. It is very sensitive to diseases and therefore requires a lot of care in the vineyards, but the result is worth it. The name means white fairy, which sounds strange but actually reveals some of the aromas you can expect from the grape: blossom and stone fruit. For extra acidity and tension, I blend this grape with Sauvignon Blanc.”

Dealu mare, Roemenië
Davino's vineyards are located in the Romanian Dealu Mare region, about an hour and a half's drive from the capital Bucharest. In the middle of this region lies the village of Ceptura, which was already known for its wines in the fourteenth century. It is a hilly area with various microclimates and many hours of sunshine. Although ideal for wine growing, the communist regime focused on quantity rather than quality. Davino was founded here twenty years ago with the aim of reviving the famous wine growing traditions. To prove that the Romanian terroir is among the best in the world, Davino chose a mix of international and local grapes. For example, the Fetească albă is an old, typical Romanian grape variety, known for its aromatic white fruit.
