8.   Description of the link(s)

Link with the demarcated area

The vineyard is located in the south-west of Dobrogea, in the angle formed by the Danube (Balta Ialomiței) and the border with Bulgaria – crossed by the 44°10" parallel north. The single vineyards are grouped under the following centres: Ostrov, Băneasa, Oltina and Aliman.

The relief forms part of the Oltina structural plateau, with altitudes of between 130 and 200 m, fragmented by deep valleys with inclined slopes and 10 to 30° gradients. It should be noted that most vine plantations are located on the lower level and, in particular, on the slopes of the Danube embankment and of torrential valleys which are affluents of the river. Such slopes are frequently terraced and face north, north-east and north-west.

Under the influence of air currents, a mild spring-like micro-climate is created which ensures the early ripening of the grapes during stages I and II and the slow ripening of the late varieties.

Underground waters also have reduced and discontinued flow rates or are blocked at significant depths. The Danube and the existing features in the area create a micro-climate that provides the vine with favourable humidity, heat and light.

The climate is specific to the entire region, with a high degree of thermal and pluviometric continentalism. Tm [average temperature] =11 °C (-1 °C in January, +22 °C in July); Pm [average precipitation] = 450-500 mm (for an evapotranspiration of 650-700 mm); beneficial heliothermal resources: global solar radiation of 128 kcal/cm2, hours of sunshine 2 200-2 300 h; sum of positive temperatures: 4 100°-4 200 °C/year. The frost-free period is 204 days. The relative humidity is between 64 and 80 %. The lowest temperature is in January: -30 °C, and the highest temperature is in August: approximately +40 °C.

The monthly average duration of actual sunshine during the vegetation period is between 187 and 315 hours. The monthly average air temperature in the vegetation period ranges between 10,7 and 22 °C. Relief

The relief of the area cultivated with vines consists of hills with hilly interfluves, with altitudes ranging from 100 to 200 m; this makes it possible, due to the winter temperatures, to grow vines in an unprotected system or using high or semi-high forms with reserve spurs at the base of the plant.

The zonal soils are chernozemic molisols of the plateaus (brown chernozems, typical chernozems, cambic and clayey-illuvial chernozems, greyzems), while the azonal soils on the strongly eroded slopes are regosols and eroded soils.

The geological substratum is represented by a thick loess layer (30-40 m) covering the alternation of sandstone, limes and tertiary sands in the upper part of the Dobrogea platform in this sector.

Due to the location which means that the vines benefit from favourable climatic conditions, a good exposure, the north to south orientation of most of the rows, and the calcareous soils rich in iron oxides, the wines obtained from the wine grape varieties have particular structural characteristics, a taste and olfactory impression, and a lively colour range. For the white wines it is a lively straw yellow to yellow to yellow-green, while for the red wines it is from dark red to intense purplish-red.

New controlled wine-making technologies highlight the wines’ aromatic complex and fruitiness.

Production falls within the limits for obtaining quality wines due to the location in the south of Constanța County where the sunshine intensity and duration, the temperature, the precipitation and the lime soils rich in iron oxides support the production of structured wines, rich in elements of primary importance for wines with a controlled designation of origin (sugar content, dry extract, acidity, aroma compounds, phenolic compounds etc.)

The relief plays an important role in the quality of the white and red grapes and the slopes with an eastern exposure are favourable, especially in the middle area; during calm atmospheric conditions, this ensures a slow circulation of air across the slopes. Anthocyanin pigments accumulate better in grapes cultivated on slopes in comparison to those cultivated on flat land.

The excessively continental climate helps the red wines by increasing the amount of radiant energy provided by the relief forms, increasing respiration, reducing the proportion of organic acids in the grapes and ensuring a suitable acidity of the grapes at technological maturity.

The wines obtained are full-bodied, often with residual sugar, suitable for ageing, and are often above the threshold of 12 % vol alcohol.
