Far beyond the bonds of the republic is known,
appreciated and loved the production of the State Enterprise Quality
Wines Industrial Complex "MILESTII MICI", the oldest storehouse of the
"divine liquid". Here the Wines are stored, indeed the wonder of
MILESTII MICI. Having its particular glamour, this natural wine deposit –
the largest of the world – appreciated in the lime galleries at a depth
of 40-85 meters in the seventies of the last century.
DESCRIPTION:
Over 50 km
of the underground galleries are transformed into wine warehouses in the
Milestii Mici Village (almost 20 km south Chisinau). Now, as many years
ago, the underground kingdom still excites the visitors. The lucky
guests who get into it have the rare opportunity to travel the darkened
avenues and streets with rows and niches, where precious bottles are
carefully laid down, where barrels are placed. Covered with the
attributes of antiquity – spider web and grey dust – they attract all
looks, just like a magnet. In order to make the time travel even more
exciting, all those who wish are given the map of the wine depository,
sealed with wax. The same map is present on the labels. The constant
annual temperature of +12 ... +14 C0 and the high moisture level offers
favourable conditions to store the high quality wine. The wine
collection consists of over 2 million bottles. The grapes collected on
the vineyards around Milestii Mici village are of special quality. The
wine made out of these grapes has a rich and noble taste, which is
stored then in the stone subways for many years. Cabernet", "Cahor",
"Muscat" or "Aligote" – each of them bears the mark of the creator, his
soul, energy and inspiration, though all of them are perceived as a part
of the universal history of winemaking, as a part of the Moldovan
culture.
