The mountains of Transylvania produce excellent white wines due to the climatic conditions here, with fine acidity, refreshing taste, and fruity aromas. The south of Romania, with its centuries-old tradition of viticulture, also delights you with its largely untouched landscapes that resemble the Tuscan Mediterranean.
