Two Gold Medals for AVINCIS at VINARIUM 2026

AVINCIS once again confirms the value of the Vila Dobrușa terroir and the excellence of its winemaking team through its outstanding achievement at the international VINARIUM competition, where Alutus Primus 2023 and Merlot 2022 were awarded Gold Medals.

This double recognition rewards both our continuous commitment to innovation and our respect for the winemaking traditions of Drăgășani. Produced from the Alutus grape variety - created and cultivated for the first time at the Vila Dobrușa Estate - Alutus Primus embodies a unique project in Romanian viticulture, distinguished by its strong personality, aromatic intensity, and ageing potential.

Likewise, Merlot 2022 reaffirms the remarkable suitability of this variety to the AVINCIS estate, where it has developed a distinctive identity over the years, defined by elegance, structure, and balance.

The Gold Medals earned at VINARIUM are an important validation of the dedication and expertise of the entire AVINCIS team, as well as confirmation that the wines crafted at Vila Dobrușa meet the standards of the most demanding international wine competitions. These distinctions honor us and inspire us to continue promoting the authenticity, quality, and extraordinary potential of the wines of Drăgășani.
