The story
Towards the end of the 12th century, when the new principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia were formed on the ruins of old Dacia, viticulture began to gain an imposing place in the country's economy, thus becoming already in the 14th century one of the most popular goods of the principality Moldova.
Dimitrie Cantemir in his work, "Description of Moldova", notes the vine plantations as one of the greatest riches of the land of this country. The advantageous geographical location of Moldova, with a continental climate and fertile varieties, also contributed to the significant development of winemaking. In the field of winemaking, it is a well-known factor that the region where the vine is grown plays a significant role in the production of a perfect wine. It is from such places, in the heart of Moldova’s Codrii, that the Bomente winery selects its grapes to obtain a wine of the highest quality.
Bomente is a family business that began in 1999 when Nicolae and his son Eugen combined their experience, knowledge, and passion for wines to create something exclusive. The winery is located in the central area of Moldova, only 40km from Chisinau, in a small but soulful village - Bucovăț.
The construction itself dates from the middle of the 20th century. A new era in its history begins in 2003, when it was redone according to modern winemaking criteria, with stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, as well as other technologies, which help preserve the natural aroma molecules of the grapes. Each stage of production is meticulously controlled, starting with the cultivation of the grapes themselves through purely ecological methods, fermentation, and maturation of the wine in oak, until the delivery of the finished product.
First wines
Over the years, the wines of the Bogatîi family have traveled to many lands, being exported to more than 20 countries. Nicolae, a winemaking technologist by profession, with over 50 years of experience, together with Eugen's fresh vision, paved the way for the recipe of a legendary wine. Inspired by the power and connection between generations, in 2022 Bomente presents its first bottled wines, which have already managed to win the hearts of many experts and ordinary consumers. The collection includes five types of wine, it is Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot, Pinot Grigio & Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and Viorica & Aligote.
The idea behind this collection represents the strength and union between generations. Together we are stronger and better. This concept is also reflected in the 5 wines, combining classic production technology with innovative aspects.
