Hailing from the sun-drenched slopes of the IGP Valul lui Traian in southern Moldova, this red blend captures the essence of its unique terroir. The '310 Altitudine' range is named in honor of the vineyards' location at the highest points of the Tigheci Hill, reaching up to 310 meters above sea level. This elevation introduces cool night breezes that temper the warm Mediterranean-influenced climate of the region, allowing the grapes to retain vital acidity and develop complex aromatics. The 2022 vintage benefited from a warm growing season, resulting in optimal ripeness for both the structured, globally renowned Cabernet Sauvignon and the expressive, indigenous Fetească Neagră. The wine is crafted to highlight the harmonious marriage of these two grapes, balancing international power with local, rustic elegance under the protective geographical indication (IGP) standards.
