In the message of greeting to Massandra's head the director general of JSC APF Fanagoria Pyotr Romanishin noted the following:
"Dear Nikolay Konstantinovich! Heartily I congratulate you and your collective with the 120th anniversary of the Main Massandra`s cellar construction launch!
This unique construction together with professionalism of your workers allows the enterprise to remain and be in the future a pearl of Ukrainian and the European winemaking.
At this, really, historical moment I wish to your association and collectives of prosperity, good luck, happiness and wellbeing!"
Cooperage Fanagoria is the supplier of barrels for aging of wines of Massandra. 3 deliveries of barrels with a capacity of 600 liters are carried already out. Barrels took the worthy place in enterprise cellars, on Madera`s and Jerez`s cellars , and according to wine makers and Massandra's guide – are a quality example. We hope that in 70 and more years Fanagoria`s and Massandra's followers will estimate the wines matured in these barrels.
Also in a collection of wines and cognac of Massandra which totals more than 1 million bottles, now there is a Fanagoria`s cognac sample that is very honourable for us.
