Davino

Widely regarded as one of Romania’s top wineries, located in the heart of the highly-regarded region of Dealu Mare. Owner Dan Balaban began as a wine distributor, before founding only the 3rd private winery of the new era in Romania in 1997. He focussed on the highest quality from the beginning, bringing in French-trained winemaker Bogdan Costachescu who later became partner in the business. Today the winery has 70 ha of its own, planted with top quality clonal material (a mixture of international grapes and local Feteasca Alba and Feteasca Neagra) and rents a further 17 ha. A new micro winery for its top wines was completed in 2017.
