  A project located on Dobrușa Hill, in the heart of a vineyard where, until the first half of the 20th century, the properties of a part of the Romanian elite were concentrated.

Capitalizing on this specificity, a special place is occupied by the local varieties, especially Crâmpoșia Selecționată and Negrul de Drăgășani.
