Located in the southwestern part of the country, in Mehedinți County, Corcova is a new vineyard for today's public, which continues the tradition of producing quality wine, initiated in this area several hundred years ago.

Corcova Roy & Dâmboviceanu wines are special and have that "gout du terroir", because here all the necessary elements meet: a temperate-continental climate with Mediterranean influences - hot and dry summers, mild winters, with accentuated precipitation; soils with a varied lithological structure and rich minerality, specific to the Piedmont of Motrului, part of the largest Piedmont unit in the country, the Getic Piedmont; the noble vine with the right varieties, provided by Pepinieres Hebinger and the careful and responsible work of the Corcova Roy & Dâmboviceanu team.

Since 2005, 55 hectares of land have been replanted with vines provided by Pepinieres Hebinger from France and varieties existing during the estate of the bibs - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Muscat Ottonel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc - as well as Feteasca Black. In addition, the wineries built by Prince Antoine Bibescu were completely restored between 2008 and 2009, respecting the original architecture, and equipped with winemaking machines produced by the most prestigious specialized companies in France and Italy.
