Crisana &#8211; historical province of Romania, was part of the Partium region, together with Maramures and Satmar. The Partium land meant the &#8220;parts&#8221; of Hungary, joined after 1526 to the historical core of the Transylvanian Podis, constituting together the Principality of Transylvania. In this context, the wines produced in this area became the favourite of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial meals.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Main varieties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White: <\/span><i>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chardonnay, Feteasca alba, Feteasca regala, Furmint, Muscat Ottonel, Mustoasa de Maderat, Pinot gris, Riesling de Rhin, Riesling italiano, Sauvignon, Tamaioasa romaneasca, Traminer rose<\/span>\n<\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black: <\/span><i>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burgundy, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cadarca, Feteasca neagra, Merlot, Pinot noir, Syrah<\/span>\n<\/i><\/p><p><b>Geographical indications<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>PDO Crisana <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(with the sub-denominations Biharia, Simleu Silvaniei and Diosig)<\/span><b> <\/b><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>D.O.P.

Rakoczy cellar &#8211; dating back to 1636, it was built by Prince Rakoczy in Mocrea, dug in the granite rock under the hill of Mocrea with the help of gunpowder explosion (dynamite was not known at that time), the cellar had a depth of 60 meters under the hill and a storage capacity of 7000-9000 hectoliters of wine (the vessels were mounted inside due to the size, not fitting on the door)[2]. A relatively complete inventory of winemaking centres (still in existence today) was made in 1333. In 1562, the tithe (dijma) was 141 thousand liters and the areas worked exceeded 700 ha. The town of Minis (Arad) appears for the first time on a vineyard map in 1212. In Simleul Silvaniei (Salaj) were produced wines for industrialization and the famous sparkling wine SILVANIA, which before 1989 was almost entirely for export. The basic grape varieties for the production of sparkling wine were  <\/span><i>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mustoasa de Maderat <\/span>\n<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(brought from the vineyards of Arad), <\/span><i>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Royal Feteasca<\/span>\n<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i>\n  <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iordana<\/span>\n<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Terroir<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><\/p><p><b>Relief<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: the area stretches between the rivers Mures, Somes, Tisa and the western peaks of the Apuseni Mountains;  <\/span><b>Pante<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  line, close to the plain;  <\/span><b>Exhibition<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: S-E, S, S-V and predominantly Western;  <\/span><b>Altitude<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 125-234 m;  <\/span><b>Soil<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  [1]: regosol, lithosol, stagnant preluvisol, aluvisol, eutricambisol;  <\/span><b>Multiannual average temperature<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 9,6-11,2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C;  <\/span><b>Precipitation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 600-700 mm multi-year average; moderate summers with 10-30  <\/span><b>tropical days<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  annual;  <\/span><b>winters<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  moderate (21-30 days annually).
