✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Loza Tomai' (meaning 'Tomai Vine') series celebrates the deep-rooted viticultural traditions of the Gagauzia region in southern Moldova, where winemaking has been a way of life for centuries. Grown in the Bugeac Steppe, a sun-drenched terroir with warm breezes from the Black Sea, the grapes benefit from fertile chernozem soils and excellent heat accumulation. This dry red expression captures the classic southern Moldovan style, combining traditional winemaking heritage with modern temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine represents an approachable, fruit-forward style typical of the region, showcasing the natural richness of red varieties nurtured under the generous southern sun.
