This is what good wine from the Fetească Neagră grape tastes like

The indigenous Romanian Fetească Neagră grape produces ruby-red wines with fruity flavors of blackcurrant and cherry. They are often slightly peppery, not too heavy, and sometimes with the freshness of fresh mint. But above all, they feature abundant, vibrant young red fruit.

The Black Virgin, that's a good translation for the Romanian Fetească Neagră. You'll find Fetească Neagră primarily in Transylvania, in northern Romania. There are also a few winemakers in Moldova and Hungary who have it in their vineyards. If you ever happen to meet a Hungarian winemaker, ask for Feteke Leányka, as that's what they call him there.
