Iacob White 2022
Davino is one of Romania's leading wineries. In a country where a lot of bulk wines are produced, this 'boutique winery' opts for quality. Her red wines from Fetească Neagră are the reference for this Romanian signature grape. Davino works naturally consciously. The use of herbicides is kept to a minimum. Instead of spraying, the vineyards are plowed several times a year. This prevents erosion and has a positive effect on the micro-organisms in the soil.
