Our story
The story of Bratu Winery begins in a corner of the world where nature displays its beauty in the most authentic forms. It all started from the passion of three brothers, who, inspired by the picturesque landscapes and traditions deeply rooted in the region’s terroir, decided to lay the foundations of a winery meant to bring to the fore the harmony between nature and technology, taking the tradition and experience gained from Ioniță Bratu – their father, further. Today, Bratu Winery is proud of the third generation that carries on the secrets of a quality wine.

The Bratu family begins the development of vineyards in Tulucești commune, Galati. This is where the wine with tradition begins.
