Abstract:
The publications from Moldova, in XVII-XIX centuries, truly reflect the wine-growing micro zones around the rivers Siret, Prut, Raut, Nistru and Bug, with favorable ecoclimatic conditions for wineproduction. The North Pontus and the viticulture of the Geto-Dacians represent the old tradition of the Tyras settlements of the Thracian tribes. The wine trade expanded to Greece, Venice and Russia. The wines from monasteries with local varieties (e.g., Feteasca, Francusa, Galbena, Mustoasa, Coarna, Rara neagra, Grasa) stood out for their quality. Today, the National Office of Vine and Wine has unique requirements for PGI and DOC wines, which is an ambition to revive the famous names of the vineyard of anothertime(e.g., Ciumai, Cricova, Copciac, Purcari, Romanesti, Truseni), some already having a great number of medals in the international wine competitions. With the creation of the Cadastre of Vineyards in Moldova, the task is to attract as many producers with geographical name, with their own original style and image for the internal and external consumer.
