Origin

On the edge of Romania, in the northeast, amidst the sun-drenched and grape-filled lands of the Huși Vineyard, lies the Averești Wine Center.
Grapevines have been cultivated here, in the heart of the Cucuteni culture area, for thousands of years.
We find notes about local wines in the manuscripts of chroniclers, and in 1874 the boyar Stefan Negruzzi, together with the talent of the French oenologist René Faure, intuited that the terroir of the area was special and began to integrate modern viticulture concepts and practices.
The French are responsible for the revival of old Romanian varieties, Zghihara and Busuioaca, as well as the introduction of French varieties, Merlot, Cabernet or Aligote.
Every year, a bottle of the first wine obtained is buried in the coolest place of the cellar, an offering to the plantations and those who have worked here over time.
