The present paper intends to turn to account the descriptive features of „terroir viticole” concept for characterizing Cotnari Vineyard, in order to underline the way in which the components of geographic environment emphasized by this concept (geological component, topographical component, climatic component, pedological component) interact one to the others, so that to contribute in establishing an intimate relation with other two components of „terroir viticole” concept (humane factor and agronomical factor). We tried in this way to outline the ecoviticole identity of Cotnari Vineyard, which makes it a unique viticole area in Romania.
