Abstract
Vine culture in our country has an ancient tradition dating back to the Middle Neolithic era, approximately 3000 BC. The history of vine cultivation is closely interdependent with the history of the Romanian people.
Starting with the Geto-Dacian ancestors, viticulture was a basic occupation of the inhabitants of the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic area, representing an element of stability and continuity throughout history.
Romanian viticulture asserts itself, especially through the native cultivars that represent the ambassadors of brand wines on the world market (‘Fetească neagră’, ‘Fetească albă’, ‘Grasă de Cotnari’, ‘Tămâioasă românească’, etc.). The new ‘Victoria’ cultivar has established itself as one of the world’s leading table grape cultivars.
Over time, Romanian schools, through their leading personalities, have made significant contributions to enriching the world’s scientific heritage.
The two great precursors of Romanian viticultural science, Gheorghe Nicoleanu and Vasile Brezeanu, had an important role in the recovery of Romanian viticulture following the phylloxera disaster.
Professor Ioan C. Teodorescu (1886-1978), considered the father of modern Romanian viticulture, undertook a rich array of didactic, scientific, and administrative activities.
Academician Gherasim Constantinescu (1902-1979) significantly contributed to the development of Romanian viticulture in the second half of the 20th century.
Professor Teodor Martin (1909-1987) is regarded as one of the great scientific personalities who significantly contributed to the development and modernization of Romanian viticulture in the second half of the 20th century.
Professor Milu Oșlobeanu (1921-2003) was considered a true “master” in organizing and modernizing the viticultural research activity.
Academician Valeriu D. Cotea (1926-2016) founded modern Romanian oenology and was a top specialist in international specialized research.
