Casa Vinicolă Luca – a family business deeply rooted in history. However, the modern era was a ruthless period for this family; under the Soviet regime, all their property was confiscated, and much of the family was deported to forced labor in Siberia. Grandfather Grigore cherished the tradition and produced wine throughout his life, albeit in limited domestic conditions, as entrepreneurship was not allowed at the time. During the Perestroika period, father Ion worked at one of the largest wineries in the country, Cricova, where he and his son Vasile played a role in creating some of Moldova’s most celebrated wines. After many travels around the world, son Ion decided to return to the family tradition that had once been taken away by the Soviet regime – producing wine under their own name. Thus, Casa Vinicolă Luca was born, debuting in 2014 with the CARPE DIEM wine series. These wines, primarily made from native grape varieties, supplemented with a few international varieties, were quickly recognized and awarded. The story of this family is not only a tale of survival and triumph but also a chronicle of determination to preserve traditions and continue a legacy, even in the aftermath of historical trials.
