Romania is currently experiencing one of the most interesting periods in its wine-making history, consolidating its position as a wine-producing country with a deep-rooted tradition and remarkable modern potential. After decades marked by economic and technological transformations, Romania is asserting itself more and more strongly on the international scene, being considered an emerging region with its own identity and valuable heritage. Balancing millennial tradition with innovation, Romanian producers have kept alive classic indigenous varieties—such as Feteasca Neagră, Feteasca Albă, and Tămâioasa Românească—while developing modern, expressive, and approachable wines adapted to current tastes.

Officially, Romania has a wide range of cultivated varieties, mostly white, but in recent years, indigenous red wines have gained notoriety. Iconic regions such as Dealu Mare, Cotnari, Drăgășani, Murfatlar, and Târnave are recognized for the diversity of their terroir and the distinct styles they impart to their wines. The national classification system, which aligns with European standards, regulates the origin, quality, and style of wines, contributing to the creation of a unified and professional image for Romanian wine.

Oltenia Hills

Oltenia Hills

The Oltenia hills represent one of Romania's most dynamic and promising wine regions, an area where local tradition meets a powerful wave of modernization. Although less well known internationally than other historic vineyards, Oltenia is rapidly consolidating its reputation through authentic, well-structured, and expressive wines, shaped by a generous terroir and a new generation of quality-oriented producers.

Located in the south-west of the country, the Oltenia hills enjoy a warm climate with Mediterranean influences, particularly favorable to red varieties. Here, the vines enjoy long, dry summers and mild autumns, ideal conditions for producing velvety, well-ripened wines with personality. The stars of the region are Romanian varieties—Drăgășani being the epicenter for Negru de Drăgășani and Crâmpoșie—but international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah also express themselves impressively in this area.

Areas such as Drăgășani, Segarcea, and Plaiurile Drâncei are renowned for their balanced, elegant wines with intense fruity notes and good structure. Investments in recent decades have led to modern winemaking technologies, but without abandoning the traditional style based on the expression of the local terroir.
