Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to a product specification for a name in the wine sector referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33

(2023/C 198/10)

This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1).

COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT

‘Dealurile Olteniei’

PGI-RO-A1095-AM01

Date of communication: 16 March 2023

DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT

1.   Inclusion of new municipalities in the demarcated geographical area of the PGI

We request the amendment of the specification to extend the demarcated area for the production of still wines bearing the ‘Dealurile Olteniei’ geographical indication to the municipality/village of Ișalnița, located in Dolj County.

The municipality of Ișalnița – made up of the village of Ișalnița – is located in the administrative territory and immediate vicinity of several towns and villages that are a part of the PGI area, where quality wines are currently produced. It therefore enjoys ecopedoclimatic conditions which are suitable for vine-growing and are similar to those of the Dealurile Olteniei PGI area.

The municipality of Ișalnița borders the municipality of Almăj to the North, the municipality of Șimnicu de Sus to the East, the municipality of Breasta and the town of Craiova to the South, and the municipality of Coțofenii din Dos to the West, which are all part of the demarcated geographical area of the Dealurile Olteniei PGI specification.

Chapter III of the specification and point 6 of the single document have been amended.

2.   Correction of the name of a wine grape variety

The specification has been amended to correct the name of a wine grape variety and to accurately indicate it as provided for in national legislation.

The amendment has been made to indicate the name of the Saint Emilion wine-making variety as laid down in Order No 273/2020 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development approving the list of wine grape varieties which may be planted, replanted and grafted in Romania for the purpose of wine production.

Chapters IV, V and VI of the specification and point 7 of the single document have been amended.

8.   Description of the link(s)

8.1.   Details of the geographical area

Due to the proximity of the Danube river, the land strip located between the river and the Carpathian Mountains imparts unique characteristics to the wines produced in the demarcated area of the Dealurile Olteniei geographical indication.

From a meteorological point of view, the area enjoys high solar radiation, good heliothermal resources, and the lowest average precipitation level in the country.

Rainfall is moderate, and together with the long periods of sunshine and the high temperatures, it ensures good biosynthesis of anthocyanins and aromas in the skin of the grapes of well-established red or aromatic varieties.

The land in the Dealurile Olteniei PGI area, located on rust-brown zonal soil, is extremely varied: in geo-pedological terms, the strata are mostly made up of reddish brown, red lithic and eumezobasic brown soils, lithosols, and regosols.

The vineyard soils of the Dealurle Olteniei PGI area are highly favourable to vine-growing, and meet all the vines’ needs in terms of water and nutrients in most years.

The climate and soil conditions are ideal for growing grape varieties intended for the production of red wines with a geographical indication. The irreproachable quality of the red wines is due in equal part to the grape varieties and to the natural environment, in particular the well-exposed slopes.

In 1900, G. N. Nicoleanu expressed the view that the Severin and Drîncei vineyards were the most famous places in the country for the excellent red wines produced from Pinot Noir and Merlot grapes. Statistical data issued in 1899 indicate that Oltenia’s five counties (Dolj, Mehedinți, Romanați, Vâlcea and Gorj) covered 30 % of Romania’s wine-growing area, made up of 32 counties, and that Dolj, Mehedinti and Romanați alone accounted for 34 % of the total production of red wine.

The soil is permeable, clayey and sandy, while the subsoil is clayey and reddish, with silt-sized particles, which creates excellent conditions for vines to grow and bear fruit. The iron and manganese migration to the plant considerably influence the accumulation of colouring substances (Dinu, 1998).

All the soil and climate conditions favour vine cultivation and the production of high quality wines, typical for the Dealurile Olteniei area. Grapes obtained from vines carefully positioned according to the ‘potential’ of the land can lead to outstanding results in producing wines with a geographical indication.

8.2.   Causal interaction between the area and the product

Vineyards are planted on large, unobstructed slopes facing South, East or West. There is an average of 1 550 hours of sunshine a year and the daily temperatures from April to September total an average of 3 340 °C.

The soils on the platform are characterised by the presence of white luvisols, planosols and brown podzolic soils. There are brown illuvial clay soils on the narrow, well drained, upper slopes and terraces, brown and eumezobasic soils and regosols on the slopes, and reddish brown soils on terraces.

The average annual temperature and the average temperature of the warmest summer months (July and August) are reflected by a high heliothermal index. Thanks to the August and September temperatures, grapes can ripen perfectly and develop considerable sugar content, especially if they are harvested at extreme points of ripeness or when they begin to raisin.
