About Byzantium

The era of the Byzantine Empire is known for its opulence, artistic complexity, perseverance, glory and sense of mystery. The Byzantium range reflects the extraordinary valences of this flourishing empire, which will conquer and ennoble you, certifying the sayings of historians "Byzantium conquers everything through its wine".

An authentic wine talks about Science and Art. About Tradition and Modernity. Byzantium’s spirit combines local tradition and wine-making history with modernity. It is rural through its birth-place in Dealu Mare. But urban and even sophisticated through the international recognition of our portfolio. It is continental through the equilibrated climate of the 45 degrees paralel, but also marine through the soil enriched by ancient seas. Byzantium, wine’s tradition, reinterpreted: For the young souls of the old cities!
