About

Via Viticola winery is located in the oldest vineyard of Dobrogea, near the hills of Sarica and Niculițel. Following the rebranding, the winery took the name of the most famous range of wines it produces: Caii de la Letea.

The "Caii de la Letea" wine was born in the oldest vineyard of Dobrogea, near the hills of Sarica and Niculițel, where the cultivation of the vine has millenary roots.

Even if the traditional methods of viticulture and grape selection have been preserved, the new winemaking technologies are masterfully handled by the winery's oenologists in order to highlight the specific imprint of the terroirs that the winery cares for in the Dobrogea area.

One of the emblematic varieties of the vineyard is the Aligote, a variety that we grew with passion and skill, and today it continues to reward us with a series of awards at renowned international competitions.

Our Limited Edition wine range has received a new image. These are the same established wines that tell the story of the Dobrogea terroir. The grapes have been carefully selected and vinified to produce wines that can be paired with various dishes, offering a superior gastronomic experience.

The horses from Letea were abandoned, forgotten, and persecuted but they are still there, the symbol of freedom. They are the eternal story of the Land of Dobrogea.

Caii de la Letea Princeps — Elegance
This collection of wines, obtained from the grapes from our best plantations, vinified and patiently matured in wooden barrels of the best quality, represents the top of the range for the Caii de la Letea brand. There are now 3 white wines, in limited editions, with very good aging potential.

Beyond their wilderness, the horses from Letea mean harmony and composure regardless of the circumstances. These wines are dedicated to those who keep being elegant even in difficult situations.
