Zghihara is an authentic Romanian variety, with a history that dates back many centuries, even before the invasion of phylloxera. Its name reflects the connection with the Moldovan area, especially with Huși , where this variety is described as zghihăț (zglobiu/ gleeful). It conquers you with its authenticity, but also with its novelty among the old Romanian varieties. We chose to demonstrate the complex potential of the variety through Z.Indi, emphasizing a new expression that particularly capitalizes on its "wild" side. Vinified with indigenous yeasts (spontaneous microflora, unique to the area where the variety is grown) Z.indi is wild, singular, genuine, beautiful and direct, or so we see it. Convince yourself by trying it.
