WINERY
WINERY Since 2003, the Luchianov family has invested passion and a desire for emancipation in the story of Moldovan wine, channeling all their efforts into cultivating undeniably high-quality grapes. In 2002, Alexandru Luchianov, who is the chief winemaker and owner of the Et Cetera brand, came into possession of a beautiful and promising land.A long period of time, Alexandru traveled abroad, trying to find his vocation. Renouncing his adventurous life, he returned to his roots. Without experience but sufficiently motivated, Alexandru, with a background in mathematics, tried to navigate the field of agriculture and study winemaking more deeply, becoming a fanatical wine enthusiast. He traveled to wine-producing countries all over the world, conducting tastings with the intention of finding the ideal formula that gives wine its perfect taste
