Codru Wine Region is a wine region in Moldova.
The central zone is the most industrially developed zone of Moldova. This is the site of the greater part of Moldovan vineyards (60%), and the majority of primary winemaking and bottling enterprises are also located here.
In the Codru zone are the most famous cellars of Moldovan wines – Cricova, Milestii Mici and Branesti. These have the capacity for millions of decalitres of wine and spirits, and enjoy ideal conditions for the storage of wines and their aging – 12-14 degrees Celsius and 80% humidity. The cellars are located deep underground in the shell rock excavation, from which the city of Chisinau was built.
