Origini represents a selection of distinctive and elegant wines that faithfully express the unique character of Budureasca vineyards.

Only the very best grapes are used to create these unique wines, which have extraordinary aging potential.They are manually selected and sorted from parcels where climatic conditions, soil, and sunlight exposure are ideal, to give full-bodied wines with great character. The reds are aged for at least 12 months in oak barrels originating from different parts of the world to increase their complexity and structure.

These exquisite wines arise at the end of a creative process developed from the stage of grape cultivation in the vineyard, up to the aging of the wine in the bottle. The name Origini represents the origins of winemaking in this region, thousands of years ago.

2011 was one of the best harvests in Budureasca vineyards thanks to excellent soil and climate conditions. Its favorable effects are well felt in this Feteasca Neagra wine from Budureasca’s best collection.

 

Tasting notes

In the glass, we find a liquid of a dark ruby color, with a distinct reddish edge. Dense in structure, the wine reveals aromas of black fruits, blackberries, black currants and jam. It opens with earthy sensations and notes of olive trees.On the palate, we can clearly discern the fruit jam, complemented by spicy spices. The tannins – which come from the long period the wine has spent in oak barrels – are warm and harmonious, leading to a long and delicate finish. This wine still shows excellent aging potential in the bottle.

Serving tip

This wine pairs very well with pork, beef or game meat with spicy marinades and sauces. Recommended temperature: 18ºC – 20ºC.

 

Winemaking

The grapes used for this wine were selected from vines more than 20 years old. These vines have deep roots, so the grapes developed very intense aromas, perfect for this wine. The juice was obtained using the no compression method, and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. For a refined taste and more complex aromas, this wine was aged for 14 months in Romanian oak barrels.

 

Winery

Budureasca vineyards are part of the famous Dealu Mare region (located in the Southern Subcarpathians) and spread over an area of approximately 275 hectares – of which 250 hectares were replanted, while the old vines were kept on 25 hectares.

The area includes numerous hills and valleys, from the Teleajen River in the west to the Buzau River in the east. The hilly massif, with its southern position, is an ideal place for vine cultivation. The altitude of Budureasca vineyards ranges from 175m to 400m. The conditions favor in particular the production of black grapes, but white grapes also enjoy extremely favorable conditions, resulting in very aromatic and fruity white wines.

The Southern positioning, sunny location and extremely rich soils, consisting of chernozems and limestone, offer our vines properties that are almost impossible to find in other regions of the country. The temperate continental climate, with frequent hot air coming from the Mediterranean side, also contributes to the exquisite quality of the wines produced here at Budureasca.

It is not a coincidence that Budureasca vineyards are located on Parallel 45, the same geographical coordinates as Bordeaux or Burgundy, two famous regions in the wine industry. The result is a terroir with extraordinary potential for the production of high-class wines.
