For more than 7,000 years, wine has been part of Moldova's identity. Today, it is home to one of the world's highest vineyard densities per capita, where ancient traditions meet exceptional growing conditions. From limestone cellars stretching for hundreds of kilometres beneath the earth to sunlit vineyards shaped by centuries of viticulture, Moldova remains one of Europe's most remarkable yet undiscovered wine regions.

Since acquiring the historic winery in 1999, the Dulgher family has transformed Gitana into one of Moldova's leading private wine estates. Across 360 hectares of carefully planned vineyards and a cellar dating back to 1953, every investment has been guided by a long-term vision: creating wines that faithfully express their origin while preserving the character of the estate for future generations.

Every decision at Gitana begins in the vineyard. Grapes are harvested by hand, each parcel picked only at its ideal moment of ripeness. In the cellar, modern technology is used with restraint—to protect freshness, preserve terroir and allow every wine to evolve naturally. From historic underground cellars to oak vats, stainless steel tanks, barrels and amphorae, every stage of winemaking is carefully chosen to bring out the best in every wine.
