On 13 February 2007 Histria Fortress was officially inscribed on the European Heritage List. There are documents that show that in the years 1760-1770, Polish merchants came and bought wine from Dobrogea and transported it on the Danube by ships that loaded at Isaccea. According to an old statistic, in 1903, the North-Dubrovnik county alone owned an area of 5,800 hectares of vineyards (Sarica-Niculitel vineyard) and produced about 305,000 hectolitres of wine annually.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Terroir<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <\/span><\/p><p><b>Relief<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The North-Dobrogene vineyards are located in wide amphitheatres, with openings towards the Danube valley.
