A Mature Discovery from Romania
Not all interesting red wines come from the best-known French or Italian regions. Davino Domaine Ceptura Rouge 2014 comes from Dealu Mare, a major Romanian wine region. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and the local Feteasca Neagra grape makes this wine appealing to those who enjoy exploring beyond the familiar wine regions.
The Story of the Vintage
For this wine, 2014 was the year the grapes were harvested in Dealu Mare. The region lies in the southern foothills of the Carpathian Mountains and is known for its red wines. Without a specific harvest report from Davino, it is best not to make any statements about the weather or the yield of this cuvée.
Character and Background
This blend combines various characteristics: dark fruit, spice, and a robust structure. After years in the bottle, the aromas may have developed further, possibly revealing more earthy and dried fruit notes. The exact character depends on how the wine has been stored and the condition of the individual bottle.
Serve and Discover
This is a wine for an evening all about discovery. Serve it with lamb, stews, or grilled beef. Open the bottle carefully and taste it first before deciding whether to decant it. A great alternative for those familiar with classic Bordeaux blends who are curious to see how similar grapes come across in Dealu Mare.
