Since then, local people have been involved in different types of agricultural activities as the land showed to be generous. Viticulture shortly became one of the main crafts practiced by many households. A wine era has started.

Eugen Pislaru, a man with special attachment to the land and a life-long passion towards viticulture decided to transform Salcuta in one of the first wineries where the entire production cycle: having its own vineyards to using own machinery and facilities is monitored by him. He defined Vitis Vinifera as the purpose of his life, which was handed over to his oldest son Sergiu Pislaru.

It is well aware that a good wine can be made only by the winemaker controlling the whole production cycle: from planting the vine cuttings to the bottling of the wine and delivering it to customers.
Following this principle, and becoming deeply connected in time with the winemaking art, Eugen Pîslaru has followed a life path synchronized with his road in this field.
