“NATIVA / NATIVUS” Selection
“Terroir expression”
The Cucuteni culture has created, over time, besides the mystery of civilization, a local specificity and many unmistakable visual landmarks specific to the area where the grapes of Avereşti vineyards grow.
From this visual culture, we have chosen several elements: the Harvest symbol, the Hills symbol and the Symbol of Protection, elements that express the ritual connection of the people of the area with nature.
Under the sign of the three symbols, dependant by its fragility of the balance between them, lies the WINE.
Defining the style for the NATIV Avereşti wines is the result of thorough work, of precise selection of micro-terroir and parcels, and varied and modern winemaking techniques.
All this experience has transformed a selection of wines that faithfully reflects the classic expression of tradition, character and nobility of the Averești Domains wines, being appreciated by the most demanding critics.
Maturing in barriques has been used only for red wine and Chardonnay to bring extra complexity and elegance.
