Carpe Diem Feteasca Albă White Dry 2022
Carpe Diem Feteasca Albă reveals itself in a bright straw-yellow hue, infused with enticing aromas of flowers and a hint of freshly cut grass. The taste enchants with a harmonious symphony of fresh notes, where a balanced acidity accentuates the unique characteristics of this native variety. Enjoy this treasure from Moldova as an aperitif or pair it with soft cheeses for a culinary indulgence. For optimal enjoyment, serve the wine between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius, allowing the aromas to fully express themselves. Store the bottle in a cool place and give the wine a moment to breathe before pouring, so the aromas can fully unfold.
No country reveals the hidden treasures of Eastern Europe better than Moldova. Many may consider it a relatively new wine country, yet wines have been produced here for over five thousand years. During the Soviet era, the quality and reputation declined, but producers like Carpe Diem continue to set new trends for the industry. For four generations, the Lucas family has dedicated their lives to creating expressive wines that reflect their unique terroir and local wine traditions. However, the past century has posed significant obstacles. In 1949, the Lucas family's vineyards were nationalized, and their entire family was deported to a Siberian labor camp under the Soviet regime. After several years, part of the family managed to return to the vineyard. And today, nearly sixty years later, Carpe Diem's estate thrives. Despite the return of the Soviet threat — during which the winery temporarily halted its activities to assist their Ukrainian neighbors — their wines continue to grow stronger.
