Sâmburești vineyard is a blessed sunny place, isolated from the Carpathian Mountains and protected by the Olt River. The wine tradition in this area dates back more than four centuries, the rank of glass being mentioned in 1638 documents.
In 1800 the estate is known as the property of the famous Brătianu family. Vintilă Brătianu, the boyar, one of the most influential politicians of the time, renewed the estate's vineyards with French varieties, at the suggestion of the French oenologist August Joseph Ville. The efforts will be rewarded in 1926 by winning the gold medal at the Universal Exhibition from Paris.
