Cricova is not
only where M. Putin celebrated his 50 birthday, is not only the most
famous winery in Moldova (between Ukraine and Romania)... is the
winery with the 3rd largest wine collection of the world
and the 2nd greatest size winery. A
lot of history inside this place because it hid some jews in 40's.
There are funny secrets even like when the russian heros Yuri Gagarin
was 2 days drinking and drinking in the 15 km of subterranean winery.
Five differents grapes coming from southern and central Moldova were
chosen for this Traditional method sparkling wine : 35% Rkatsiteli,
25% Sauvignon, 25% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir
and 5% Aligoté.
Mr. Gagarin: working class hero |
The Rkatsiteli is a native caucasian grape variety putting the eastern touch in this french party. Is surprising too find a Pinot Noir touch evoking the red bush fruits. It's 9'80 euros / $ 10'61 price is very affordable for the western customer, as it will compete with the mid-range French Crémants and Spanish Cavas. Regional cuisine is very compatible, so I propose: a Biban de mare cu ierburi la gratar, a File de somon cu sos dulce picant or a Ciorba Taraneasca cu afumatura. A service temperature of 9º C is the recommended.
