The Codru wine region, located in Moldova, is renowned for its temperate climate and rolling hills ideal for winemaking. Often dubbed the 'green lung' of Moldova, this region is home to about 60% of the country's vineyards, spreading over fertile and well-drained soil. The moderate temperatures and balanced precipitation allow for a slow and full maturation of the grapes, ensuring optimal concentration of flavours.
Codru is distinguished by its diverse production of wines, ranging from fresh and floral whites to elegant and structured reds. Indigenous grape varieties such as Feteasca Alba and Rara Neagra sit alongside international varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, allowing for a broad expression of styles.
The region is also famous for its impressive underground cellars, including those of Cricova and Mileștii Mici, true labyrinths carved into limestone, offering ideal conditions for wine ageing. When visiting Codru, wine enthusiasts discover not only unique flavours but also a rich winemaking tradition rooted in Moldovan history. It is an essential destination for those wishing to add a touch of authenticity and exoticism to their cellar.
