The story

Asconi is the founding family project (since 1994) in Puhoi village (Ialoveni, ~30 min from Chișinău) — a complete wine estate emphasizing traditional Moldovan hospitality. On site: 12 rustic thatched-roof cottages (20 rooms), ASCONI restaurant (Moldovan cuisine from family recipes) and SOL NEGRU (Moldovan-Balkan fusion, farm-to-table). Attractions: outdoor pool, vegetable and flower gardens (ingredient source for restaurants), vineyard walks. Varieties: predominantly French (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Riesling, Muscat). Philosophy: «winery as home» — community, tradition, warm welcome.
