Cricova wines begin their lives in the picturesque vineyards in the center and the south of Moldova. And although the Associated Wine Factory’s vineyards are the largest ones in the country, grapes are hand-picked in special limited weight containers, enabling thus their preservation under excellent conditions. The originality of Cricova wines is explained by the conditions of storage in the underground cellars, where the so-called wine-making stage takes place. One has created the ideal conditions for the success of this process in the Cricova cellars, inasmuch as the average temperature is +10 … + 12°C and the relative humidity of the air is 97-98% all year round. The latter indicator is of particular importance: the higher the relative humidity level, the lower the risk of wine loss.
