Murfatlar Winery, which is one of the oldest and most famous wine producers in Romania. The name "Lacrima lui Ovidiu" translates to "Ovid's Tear," which refers to a poetic connection to the Roman poet Ovid, who was exiled to the region of Dobrogea (where Murfatlar is located) during the Roman Empire. According to local legend, Ovid, in his sadness and longing for his homeland, shed tears that transformed into the grapes used to create this unique wine.
The wine is made from indigenous Romanian grape varieties, typically Fetească Albă and Fetească Regală. These two varieties are known for their ability to produce elegant, aromatic, and crisp white wines, well-suited to the climate of the Dobrogea region.
