Milestii Mici Winery
The State Enterprise Quality Wines Industrial Complex "Mileștii Mici" was founded in 1969 to store, preserve and mature high-quality wines.
Local ancient underground galleries reach the Chişinău borders. The limestone in the galleries maintains constant humidity (85–95%) and temperature (12–14 °C [54–57 °F])[1] throughout the year. The longer some specific red wines are stored in such ideal conditions, the more they improve. Some wines are cellared for several decades before being sold. The cellars extend for 200 kilometres (120 mi), of which only 55 kilometres (34 mi) are currently in use.
In August 2005, Mileștii Mici was registered in the Guinness World Records as the biggest wine collection in the world.[2] Overall, the complex holds nearly 2 million bottles.[1] More than 70% of the stored wines are red, 20% are white and about 10% are dessert wines. The most valuable items of this collection, worth €480 a bottle, were produced in 1973–74; they are now exported only to Japan.
Wines are exported from Mileștii Mici to Sweden, Japan, the USA, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Poland, Greece, Germany, Denmark, Finland, and China.
MIMI Castle
Join us for a wine tour and tasting at this exquisite castle ;)
Legends are made by great people that accomplish big things, being driven by their passion and dreams, without being afraid to put in hard work and dedication! One of these people is Constantin Mimi, a pioneer, an emblematic wine maker and an important public figure of XX-th century. He dedicated his life to wine. By applying the knowledge he acquired in Western Europe, Constantin Mimi managed to build the first chateau in Moldova. This led him to produce great wines and raise the standards by implementing new technologies. Thanks to his actions the country’s wine making industry was saved a couple of times, so Moldova can be today one of the leading wine producers in the world.
Folks, this is where all the politicians and celebrities who visit Moldova come first! Once you get there, you'll understand why :)
The Cricova Cellar is truly remarkable place in the world, where history, archeology, and the art of winemaking are united into one. Being placed under the whole Cricova town, they represent a real Underground City with avenues, streets, lanes… Only the denominations are unusual: Cabernet, Feteasca, Chardonnay and Sauvignon… The denominations of the streets correspond to the wine which is kept in adjoining niches.
