The Alira Collection represents an introduction to the essence of the place and brings together the wines created as a definition of each variety grown on the Aliman hills and vinified at Rasova.

The winery’s name is an acronym that comes from Aliman and Rasova localities, where the vineyards are located on an area of 80 hectares. The first grape vine cuttings were planted in 2006 and their first wine was Alira Merlot 2009, a wine that surprised by aroma and complexity. It was the first step in making a series of wine collections which actually educated the Romanian public towards refinement and consumption of premium wines.
