Product Description

"The inhabitants of these lands have know the taste of good wine since history can remember.  In ancient times a Roman colony was established here.  The Romans had an immense influence on the traditions of local winemaking and consumption.

The glorious moments of our history:

After Bessarabia was joined to Russia, by a decree of the local authorities, issued in 1827, in Purcari was created the first specialized winemaking company.  As early as 1847, during an agricultural exhibition held in Bessarabia, Purcari wines were exhibited for the first time and tasters were impressed by its delicate bouquet and dense, full taste.

The newest step in the history of Purcari wines starts in 2003, when the "Vinaria Purcari" company was created.  The main purpose of creating the company was to revive the production of unique, historic wine blends.  The Purcari production facility was fully revived and upgraded, and the old cellars, built as far back as 1827, were renovated.  Today the cellars are among the oldest and most famous in Moldova." - Winery Notes
