The first stone of the winery was built in 1898. For the first time for Bessarabia, reinforced concrete was used. The cellars could store the then record amount of 300 barrels. Mimi was also the first to create social enterprises and import French cuttings to Bessarabia.

The passion, transmitted through generations, has transformed this historic place into one of the most modern wineries in the Republic of Moldova and a national heritage, which annually contributes to the promotion of the culture and history of our country”.
