Feteasca Alba
Feteasca Alba (White Feteasca) is the most valuable authentic variety for white wines. It is a Romanian variety whose existence in grapevine cultures is lost deep in history. It is believed that its origins are in Moldova. This precious variety, known for its adaptability and resilience, has been cultivated on Romanian soil for centuries, bearing witness to the country's rich viticultural heritage. Feteasca Alba produces wines with a diverse aromatic palette, ranging from delicate floral notes to complex white pulp fruit aromas and mineral accents. The resulting wines vary depending on the terroir and winemaking practices, offering a wide range of styles—from light, fresh, and fruity to full-bodied and barrel-matured, revealing hints of vanilla and spices.
Feteasca Alba is cultivated on almost 12,000 hectares in Romania. Wines made from Feteasca Alba are distinguished by their balanced acidity and pleasant structure, appreciated both as varietal wines and in blends, where they contribute elegance and complexity. This variety offers good aging potential, with wines that evolve beautifully over time, unveiling additional layers of complexity and enhanced flavors.
Traditionally, Feteasca Alba has been associated with Romania's historical wine regions, such as Moldova and Transylvania. Due to its remarkable versatility, it is now cultivated in all the wine regions of the country. This expansion highlights the variety's ability to adapt to various climatic conditions and soils, reinforcing its position as a cornerstone of Romanian viticulture.
Despite its historical presence, Feteasca Alba continues to be rediscovered and appreciated by modern winemakers and consumers worldwide. Through investments in new technologies and innovative winemaking methods, Romanian vintners aim to further highlight the exceptional qualities of this variety, demonstrating the potential and diversity of Romanian wines on the international stage.
