Vinarte was established in 1998 by a small group of visionaries, Romanians, French and Italians united in their passion for the highest quality wines. Inspired by the tradition of the Old Continent - and respecting modern European legislation - VINARTE identifies itself as a wine producer with a concern for the terroir and with the ambition to make delicious gastronomic wines on all levels of the portfolio.
The company's two plantations in southeastern Romania - one of 160 hectares, located near the Danube, in Stârmina (Mehedinți), and the other of 50 hectares, in Sâmburești (Olt) - were carefully chosen by international specialists for their ability to produces healthy grapes year after year. The vineyards are carefully cared for with the environment, and the two wineries related to the plantations, permanently updated from a technological point of view, have the resources of professionals established by the results obtained over the years. Sustainability is a major concern for VINARTE: being environmentally responsible and proactive.
Soare Cabernet Sauvignon, Bolovanu Cabernet Sauvignon and Prince Mircea Merlot are the first iconic VINARTE wines consecrated in Romania, in the last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of the 2000s. They brought the company the recognition as a specialist in red wines that they still enjoy today, without ceasing. Along with the red ones, the sweet wine Sirena Dunării - obtained from grapes ennobled in exceptional years by exposure to the noble rot Botrytis Cinerea - demonstrated the special potential of the winery in the field of white wines. All these legendary names - which are, practically, the equivalent of the Gotha Almanac of Romanian noble wines - are the results of the vision, philosophy, investments and work of the people from VINARTE. A producer whose history is practically confused with that of modern wine in Romania, at the highest level.
