The label

The 2017 vintage label
Mihaela Lungu
For the 2017 vintage, the winery worked with the artist Mihaela Lungu, so that the wine would delight both the palate and the eye. On the label of this four-variety blend, her painting shows a woven rug in coloured stripes, figures in folk dress and red poppies. The back label opens with the call “Ia artitudine.”: both wine and art inspire conversation.
“Ia artitudine.” Both wine and art inspire conversation.

- BronzeJudges’ note
Discreet and elegant aromas of citrus and wet stones. Zesty, mineral edge supporting a balanced and elegant palate.
International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) judges - 88/10088 out of 100 pointsWine critic
This is full yellow in colour and has bold, textured pear and melon fruit with nice depth to it. Rich and broad but balanced, with some honeyed richness.
