The Dragasani vineyard stretches across a complex landscape of hills and narrow ridges, generally between 200 and 500 metres in altitude. Its soils include clay, limestone traces, sand, gravel and marl, creating varied conditions for both white and red grape varieties. Combined with a temperate continental climate, these features give the vineyard a distinctive balance between freshness, structure and aromatic expression.
Dragasani is especially important for three highly distinctive Romanian grape varieties: Cramposie Selectionata, Negru de Dragasani and Novac. These varieties have become closely associated with the identity of the vineyard and offer significant potential for producing wines with a recognisable Romanian character on the international market.
Other traditional Romanian grapes are also widely represented, including Feteasca Alba, Feteasca Regala, Tamaioasa Romaneasca and Feteasca Neagra. Together, they give Dragasani one of the richest portfolios of indigenous grape varieties among Romania's major vineyards.
In recent years, producers such as Prince Stirbey Winery and Bauer Winery have also demonstrated the versatility of the area through high-quality sparkling wines produced using the traditional method. This combination of native varieties, modern winemaking and a strong sense of place makes Dragasani one of the most distinctive wine regions in contemporary Romania.
