Dealu Mare is the largest vineyard in the Hills of Vallachia and Oltenia viticultural region (Region III). With the aim to support a durable viticulture, an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) have been done to identify the most valuable grapevine cultivars for wine in Dealu Mare vineyard. The grapevine cultivars taken into the study are dedicated to white wine (Chardonnay, Fetească regală, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon, Grasă de Cotnari), flavoured wine (Tămâioasă românească, Muscat Ottonel), and red wine (Pinot Noir), all of them being zoned for this grapevine growing aria. According to the results, Tămâioasă românească, Sauvignon and Fetească regală are selected as the cultivars with the highest potential for this vineyard. The eco-climatic conditions of Dealu Mare vineyard are very suitable for the cultivation of selected grapevine varieties, despite to their low tolerance to different stress factors. The analyses were obtained using the Expert Choice Desktop software (v. 11.5.1683).
