Wine region

The wine growing region of Dragasani in southern Romania numbers among the most important wine growing areas in the country, due to its extremely advantageous geological and climatic conditions. 

The hilly countryside reminiscent of Tuscany consists of loess terrain of distinct structures, usually of red-brown loam and clay layers of varying thickness in the upper section, underlain by sand, which in some places emerges on the surface. This makes the region attractive both for white wines, which are favoured in the cooler northern and eastern facing vineyards, and for red wines and aromatic white wines in the other vineyards. 

The climate is mild/continental, marked by cold winters (temperatures as low as minus 20° C) and extremely hot summers (temperatures over 40° C), concentrated precipitation in early summer and late autumn, with an average of 550 mm annually.
