History of I’m Winery

In 2016, the meeting between Vladimir, a Moldovan businessman in the furnishing and design sector, and Claudio, an Italian export manager, at a fair in Moscow marked the beginning of a growing collaboration. Both passionate travelers and lovers of Italian quality, they built a strong bond that crossed continents—from Moscow to South America, through the Middle East and Europe. The spark ignited during a business trip to Kazakhstan when Claudio’s passion for wine led them to discover and fall in love with the potential of local and international wines.

Vineyard Philosophy

The idea of producing a wine that merges Moldova’s ancient tradition with Italian winemaking techniques was born in 2018. The search for ideal land with perfect sun exposure and natural qualities guided every decision. Founders worked closely with experienced Italian winemakers to unlock the full potential of Moldovan terroir, adopting a philosophy rooted in respect for nature, attention to detail, and passion for excellence. Each vineyard is carefully tended to ensure high-quality grapes, the essential foundation for authentic and refined wine.

Winery Approach

At the winery, I’m Winery combines innovative methods with traditional practices. Fermentation and aging processes use cutting-edge technology while focusing on expressing the terroir and purity of the grape varieties. The craftsmanship merges with technology to produce wines that tell a story of land, friendship, and innovation. The project also includes building a small resort for wine lovers to share an authentic experience and the international identity of I’m Winery.
