Torres Purgatori DO.O. Costers Del Segre

Cariñena, Garnatcha tinto & Syrah by Torres from Catalunya, Spain. The label of the Torres Purgatori (Purgatory) is a reference to the legend surrounding this wine. In 1770, some stubborn monks had to work a piece of land far from the monastery as penance. The country turned out to produce wonderful wines. But mysteriously, the occasional wine barrel disappeared. The wayward monks declared that the angels took the wine to the afterlife. The wine is a blend of cariñena, garnacha and syrah sourced from DO Costers del Segre. Powerful with black cherry, blueberry, coffee and intense tannins.
