onvpv.ro/ro/doc/dealu-mare (2026-09-18): EU protection, amended 2023 (Regulation EU 2023/2535); the spec PDF (1996/2020 consolidation) confirms the southern Subcarpathians Teleajen–Buzău and the 45th parallel. No quotable legal variety list could be extracted: no variety table built.

D4 · Cotnari guide

cotnari.ro/degustare (fetched 2026-09-18): five steps (choose and read → look → first nose → swirl and second nose → taste). The guide is public; /media/turism needs a login, unverified.

D6 · Failed verifications (on record)

Serve (serve.ro): no visit page, contact only. Jidvei: no visit page. Murfatlar: murfatlar.ro and cramamurfatlar.ro DNS-dead, no verifiable site. All three plus the Cotnari visit carry no cards: the rule is 'visit page or nothing', never 'reportedly visitable'.
