The grape
In Romania, in addition to the grape varieties commonly found worldwide like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot, there are also many indigenous grape varieties that have been cultivated continuously for centuries. Among these, one of the most promising varieties is Fetească neagră. It's considered the flagship of Romanian red grapes and is grown in a wide range of climates, from cool to warm regions.
Fetească neagră is a versatile grape variety, used to produce fresh and easy-drinking rosé wines to rich and full-bodied wines, showcasing the diversity of this grape.
The [Corcova Fetească Neagră 2019] may not undergo oak aging, but it still exhibits a robust and concentrated character thanks to the use of extremely high-quality grapes.
Tasting notes
- Appearance
A deep ruby color with hints of garnet. - Nose
A rich and intense aroma dominated by dark fruits. Blackberries, black currants, figs, blueberries, black cherries, sour cherries, cherry jam, violets, cocoa, and spices. - Palate
Fruit-forward and exceptionally juicy. Abundant fruit flavors with a substantial mouthfeel. Rich and soft tannins leave a lasting impression. Well-balanced acidity and tannins, providing a solid structure. The finish is long, reminiscent of dark fruits. A highly satisfying wine. - Food pairing
This wine pairs well with duck dishes, turkey, pork, tomato-based dishes, Turkish-style kebabs, Romanian mititei, Romanian meatballs, and Romanian stuffed cabbage rolls.
