Busuioacă de Bohotin (Romanian pronunciation: [busuˈjo̯akə de bohoˈtin]) is a unique grape which originates from Bohotin region, in Southeast Iaşi County, and is also cultivated in other small areas: Huşi in Vaslui County, Pietroasele in Buzău County and Tohani in Prahova County, on a total area of no more than 100 ha.[1]
The wine has a light red color, unidentifiable with any other wine. Its flavor is unique too, resembling honeysuckle and ripe juicy peaches, with a perfect harmony of sugar, alcohol and acidity. The sweet taste sometimes has a barely perceptible almond like bitter aroma caused by the latent cyanide moiety.
