After they took over the royal vineyards in Segarcea, Cornelia and Mihai Anghel now produce some of the best known wines in the country, which have been rewarded at great international competitions of the industry. They are convinced that wine means art, science, emotion, passion, work and divine goodwill. Mihai Anghel grew up near tractors, he became a mechanical  engineer and he has worked in the Dacia and Oltcit factories. Cornelia Anghel is a cardiac surgeon and she has worked at the Fundeni Hospital. Remembering the years spent at their grandparents’ home, in Amărăștii de Jos, near Dăbuleni, she explains: “I’d go to the vineyard in the garden, I sowed tobacco, I harvested it, I spread it on threads. I grew up with the vineyard in the yard.” Each of them had a job they were pleased with. However, they wanted something else, they reinvented themselves professionally. They became… great agricultural producers. He grew cereals; she made wine, on different areas of the same domain, the Segarcea Domain of the crown. Everything they did was with their own strength, with a lot of work, perseverance and dedication.
