What is Gitana Winery?

Gitana Winery is a family estate in Moldova's southern Valul lui Traian region. Its story began in 1953 in the village of Plopi; since 1999 the Dulgher family has revived it, planting estate vineyards on the southwest-facing slopes of Romanovca and Filipeni, near the Tigheci forests. Italian winemaker Nicola Tucci leads the cellar, and clean, terroir-driven wines are the house signature.

Riesling, the Moldovan way

Riesling usually makes people think of Germany, but the grape has a long, quiet history in Moldova too. Cool nights and sunny days in the country's south build aroma and acidity slowly and precisely. For this wine the harvested grapes are chilled to 2°C for a short cryomaceration that draws out the aromatics, then fermented cool with indigenous yeasts and matured in stainless steel. The result is a pure, precise dry white.

Why choose this wine?

Its vivid acidity and delicate fruit make it one of the best seafood whites in our range: sashimi, oysters, carpaccio. It stays fresh and clean glass after glass, a wine you can happily keep on the table through the whole meal. For a full Moldovan evening, pour it alongside the Gitana Rara Neagra.

Tasting notes

Appearance

Pale lemon yellow, limpid and bright, with youthful green glints.

Nose

Charming white flowers and honeysuckle lead the way, joined by pear, green apple and a squeeze of lime. The short cold maceration gives the aromas a lovely purity and lift.

Palate

Crisp acidity runs straight through the middle of the palate, keeping everything taut and refreshing. Gentle pear fruit follows, and a clean, mineral-toned finish lingers longer than you expect from such a light-footed wine.

Food pairing

Outstanding with sashimi, oysters and seafood carpaccio. Also lovely with salt-grilled white fish, lemony chicken sauté, tempura, herb salads and fresh cheeses.
