Băbească neagră (also Rară Neagră) is a red Moldovan and Romanian wine grape variety. It is cultivated in the south of Moldova and in Romania in the regions of Moldavia, Dobruja and Wallachia, making it the second most widely planted grape variety in Romania. It is also found in Ukraine and New York, United States, where the grape is known as Sereksiya Charni. The name Băbească neagră is derived from the Romanian words meaning "grandmother's black". Most wines produced from Băbească Neagră are light-bodied, fruity red wines.
