Embark on a fascinating journey to the heart of Romanian winemaking with Cotnari Fetească Neagră Traditii. This distinguished dry red wine is a pure and authentic expression of Fetească Neagră (meaning "Black Maiden"), Romania's most esteemed indigenous black grape varietal, cultivated for centuries in the historic Cotnari region. At a balanced 12% alcohol by volume, this 750ml bottle offers a glimpse into the rich traditions and terroir of Romanian viticulture.
Cotnari's commitment to "Traditii" (traditions) ensures that this Fetească Neagră is crafted to highlight the grape's unique characteristics. It typically undergoes careful vinification to preserve its inherent fruit and spice profile. The wine pours a beautiful, deep ruby-red colour, often with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers an intriguing and complex bouquet of ripe dark berries (black cherry, blackberry), plums, intertwined with exotic spices like black pepper, cinnamon, and sometimes a hint of vanilla or mocha. The palate is wonderfully dry and full-bodied, with soft, well-integrated tannins, a vibrant acidity, and a persistent, flavourful finish that leaves a memorable impression.
Fetească Neagră is a versatile and food-friendly red wine. It pairs exceptionally well with a range of hearty dishes, making it an ideal choice for the cooler winter months. Consider it alongside roasted lamb, beef stews, game, grilled mushrooms, or mature hard cheeses. Experience the rich tradition of European spirits and discover the profound character of Cotnari Fetească Neagră Traditii. Crafted for true connoisseurs seeking authenticity, depth, and a unique taste of Eastern European heritage.
