Buoyed by limitless ambition, this is a wine-producing country in the ascendant.

Over three days, visitors can expect a thorough entry into the thrilling wines - and unique terroirs - of the diverse Moldovan landscape: participating wineries will be located in Hall 5.2 at the stand B161.

“The Moldovan climate is mild with usefully long, relatively warm summers and just the right amount of rainfall Furthermore, many vineyards can boast of two similarities with fashionable Burgundy: latitude and limestone,” says renowned critic Jancis Robinson MW. Local grape varieties include the tannic Fetească Neagră and the pungently aromatic Rară Neagră. These esoteric gems will take pride of place at a masterclass scheduled for Wednesday 14 February at 13:30pm in Room 3, Hall 5.2.
