Romania: Reflections

Romania is a A country that could be described as Latin in a Slavic contextwith great affinities with France rather than with neighbouring countries. The Black Sea and Carpathians describe a huge curve in the middle, moderating the hot and dry summers typical of continental climate. And then there is the Danube, which runs along a sandy plain to the south and then curves northwards towards its Delta.
Land noteworthy regions are 6including the Moldova (bordering the Republic of Moldova), east of the Carpathians, by far the largest in Romania, with about one third of the total vineyards. If the northern part of Moldova is a land of white wine, the central-southern part has the most varied and interesting production, The Vrancea district can count on no less than 20000 hectares of vineyards, the most important centres of which are Focsani, Cotesti, Nicoresti, Panciu and Odobesti.
Following the curve of the Carpathians, one reaches the green hills of Munteania and Olteaniain Munteania in particular is the sub region of Dealu Mare, perhaps the best for red winesinternational grape varieties and the promising, full-bodied Feteasca Neagra. West of Dealu Mare we also point out the area of Dragasani, an area of light red wines from local vines such as Novac, Negru de Dragasani and Cramposie selectionata, and aromatic whites from Feteasca Regala, Muscat and Sauvignon.
To the east, between the Danube and the short Black Sea coastline, the region of Dobrogea boasts perhaps the best climate in the entire country, sunny and with little rainhere, particularly around the area of Murfatlarare produced excellent sweet Chardonnays made from very ripe grapes grown on limestone soils and cooled by sea breezes.
The north-western part of Romania denotes clear Hungarian influences and so it is that in the region of Banat you can encounter great wines in the Magyar style obtained from the most prestigious international grapes.
Finally, the Transylvania remains a kind of island in the centre of the countrywith its plateau 500 metres above sea level and a climate that tends to be cold and rainy, favourable only to the production of fresh and exuberant whites.
In the 1960s in Romania, as in all the countries of the former Soviet Union, a large development programme converted huge expanses of arable land into vineyards, but these have now been reduced to just under 200000 total hectares. Romania continues to be Europe's seventh largest producer with more than 4 million hectolitres worth an export value of around 35 million euros.
