The wines of Davino

Davino is a modern Romanian winery. An example of the revival of winegrowing that has taken place all over Eastern Europe since the difficult years of the last century. With respect for nature and a professional, dedicated focus on quality, Davino succeeds in making quality wines that are appreciated far beyond its own borders. Its philosophy is to use both typically Romanian and internationally known grape varieties, and to meet Western European quality standards.

Davino's vineyards lie in Romania's Dealu Mare region, about an hour and a half's drive north of the capital Bucharest. In the middle of this region lies the village of Ceptura, already known for its wines back in the fourteenth century. It's a hilly area with various microclimates and plenty of sunshine hours. Davino started here twenty years ago making wines that do justice to the region's centuries-old reputation.

Davino's vineyards lie mainly on clay soil, with relatively high iron content, which is especially favorable for making characterful red wines. Davino has planted its white grape varieties as much as possible on vineyards with schist in the soil.

At Davino they understand that a healthy vineyard produces the best wines, which is why the use of herbicides is avoided as much as possible. Instead, the vineyards are ploughed several times a year, which prevents erosion and has a positive effect on the microorganisms that keep the soil alive. Careful pruning is done to avoid a large harvest at the cost of lower quality. When the vines bear less fruit, the juice in the grapes becomes more concentrated, and of course the same goes for the wine.

Davino has very deliberately planted the region's typically Romanian grapes, with an emphasis on Fetească Albă, Italian Riesling and Fetească Neagră. Because the company wants to make wines that appeal to an international market, it has also planted well-known varieties that do well in the region, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. We currently have seven wines from Davino in our range. You can view all our wines from Davino here.
