Chateau Purcari - Negru de Purcari 2020 - Cabernet-Sauvignon, Saperavi, Rara Neagră
AWARDS:
- Gold - Challenge International du Vin, Bordeaux
- Silver - Decanter Asia Wine Awards
TASTING NOTES:
Negru de Purcari is the king of red wines – noble, with a rich structure and a perfect bouquet.
The scarlet red color is characterized by a complex and intense bouquet, with notes of sweet fruits – ripe plums and figs – which develop over time, coupled in the end with fine flavors of spices and saffron. Deep and velvety taste reminds of the same fruit flavor with ample hints of delicate tannins and a long sensual aftertaste.
