Moldova’s highest state distinction. Forty-five years dedicated to the art of winemaking.
In 2025, Ion Luca Sr. was awarded the Order of the Republic — the Republic of Moldova’s highest state distinction. For our family, it is a moment of profound pride and a recognition of a lifetime devoted to Moldovan wine.
His career spans 45 years of dedication to Cricova S.A., one of Moldova’s most emblematic wineries. Behind this honour are decades of work, care and commitment to the craft — values that have shaped generations of our family.
At Casa Vinicolă Luca, that legacy is deeply personal. It lives on in our respect for winemaking, in the knowledge passed from father to son, and in the care we bring to every bottle.
