The Wine Book of Romania

Romania has these incredible local grapes like Fetească Regală. They survived the communist era when quantity mattered more than soul.

The soil in Transylvania has a distinct flinty character. It gives the white wines a sharp elegance I didn't expect.

Family estates are finally reclaiming their land. They are experimental and brave after decades of state control.

Dealu Mare is basically the Bordeaux of the East. The red wines there have a deep, earthy spice that feels ancient.
