The '310 Altitudine' range from Fautor Winery pays homage to the highest vineyards of the estate, situated at an elevation of 310 meters in the picturesque Tigheci micro-zone of Valul lui Traian. This unique altitude, combined with the warm southern sun and cooling breezes from the nearby Black Sea and the Tigheci forests, creates an exceptional microclimate that preserves acidity while ensuring optimal phenolic ripeness. This red blend harmoniously marries Cabernet Sauvignon, the robust global classic, with Fetească Neagră, an ancient indigenous Moldovan variety whose name translates to 'Black Maiden' and is steeped in local folklore. The wine reflects the rich historical tapestry of the region, named after the ancient Roman fortification walls of Emperor Trajan. It showcases a modern expression of Moldovan winemaking, balancing the structured, black-fruit character of Cabernet with the velvety, spicy, and wild plum notes of Fetească Neagră.
