History

Archaeological discoveries in the fortress of Histria [2] (today Istria) have revealed, under the floor of a funerary monument dated to the beginning of our era, amphorae in which wine for offerings was kept. On 13 February 2007 Histria Fortress was officially inscribed on the European Heritage List. There are documents that show that in the years 1760-1770, Polish merchants came and bought wine from Dobrogea and transported it on the Danube by ships that loaded at Isaccea. According to an old statistic, in 1903, the North-Dubrovnik county alone owned an area of 5,800 hectares of vineyards (Sarica-Niculitel vineyard) and produced about 305,000 hectolitres of wine annually.
