On Friday, September 18, at the Sofa restaurant in Bucharest, the new Alira wine was launched, ALIRA Concordia. Ghenadie Bobeică, Alira's CEO, and Marc Dworkin, Alira's French Winemaker, talked about the new brand.
The event was held in Sofa restaurant's cellar, which recently refreshed its identity through its international cuisine, with special recipes gathered from around the world. Sofa World Cuisine is a unique restaurant in Bucharest, just like Alira Concordia is unique among indigenous wine blends.
"Wines have always sought inspiration in art, history, nature and harmony. In ancient Rome, Concordia was the goddess who personified harmony in the family and in society. The goddess and everything she represents became the subject of an imperial cult. Concordia represented the cream of society in terms of morality and protection and was the ambassador of virtue on Earth. It is the best symbol for a well-balanced, harmonious wine, created from carefully selected grapes." says Marian Ivănescu, Alira's Commercial Director.
ALIRA Concordia wine, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Fetească Neagră, is dominated by strong eucalyptus, vanilla, cocoa and black cherry flavour. ALIRA Concordia expresses a balance between alcohol and acidity, between structure and aromatic intensity.
"ALIRA Concordia is an elegant but friendly wine, dedicated to those who want to fully explore the exclusive combination of Fetească Neagră and Cabernet Sauvignon." says enologist Marc Dworkin about his creation.
Alira is a boutique winery in the southeast of Romania, with vineyards in Aliman and Rasova, Dobrogea, with only 80 ha and a renowned French winemaker, enamoured of Romania, Marc Dworkin. Alira cellar's activity is directed towards the creation of outstanding premium wines, combining modern technology with traditional methods.
Alira wines, through each and every bottle, express the best of Romanian Terroir through a series of red and rose wines that capture the essence of Latin passion. Love, balance and harmony are the keywords that prevail in the vineyards from Aliman and Rasova, same words that come to mind when you taste the Alira wines. Because happiness can also be measured in milliliters.
