Drăgășani

Overview

Drăgășani is the oldest recorded vineyard in Oltenia, running parallel to the Olt River for about 50 to 65 km. Narrow hills rise from 200 to 500 metres, with north-south slopes that drain cold air and capture sunshine.

Calcareous clay soils with limestone, sand, gravel and marl support a mix of indigenous and international grapes. The area is especially prized for Crâmpoșie Selecționată whites, Negru de Drăgășani reds and increasingly refined sparkling wines.
