The winery is famed for being a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, its use of indigenous grapes and its similarities to Bordeaux wine. The two locations are located at a similar latitude and Purcari soils are remarkably similar to those in Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcademia Purcari, our most ambitious project to date, is a collection of premium wines that delves deeply into the identity and strong character of local wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of centuries of experience and continuous research on the Purcari terroir and the congruence of bold experiments, Academia Purcari is a collection of wines created according to the absolute rules of nature: sun, water, soil, with vinification and maturation in clay amphorae and a short rest in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacing nature’s perfection, man has little left to do but glorify the place and carry the story forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__row\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen creating Academia Purcari, several important factors were harmoniously aligned. The first is the terroir, whose unique composition and diverse positioning ensure the excellence of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated on the west coast of the Dniester River, at an altitude of 110-185 meters above the Black Sea, the Purcari vineyards cover an area of over 260 hectares and have an ideal microclimate for the production of high quality wines, which protects vineyards from frost in winter and heat in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe climate is characterised by active temperatures of up to 33°C and a relative humidity of 0.68-0.75.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Purcari micro-zone is known for its unique soil composition - clay chernozem, carbonised sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__body__top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmphorae is a tool that allows us to understand how some wines can evolve both during maceration and after, without having certain elements that interfere with its evolution. For the maturation of the wines from the Academia Purcari collection, we use high quality Italian amphorae, whose composition has all the necessary characteristics for the highest quality vinification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fermentation in clay amphora allowed us to obtain pure wines, which evolved without the involvement of other factors. These wines, produced from the best grapes in Moldova, cleaned, cooled and allowed to follow their path to fermentation naturally, allowed us to obtain a pure result, which deviates from market trends, offering an absolutely unique tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slope orientation determines the soil characteristics, which play an important role in forming the wine flavours and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe provision of the vineyards with light and heat also depends on the degree of the slope. The location of the hills allows maximum exposure to the sunlight, helping vines to grow and grapes to ripen. The slope also facilitates water drainage. Thereby, vine roots penetrate deep through the layers of carbon soil in search of water, and the planting in ordered rows allows good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReinterpreted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethrough \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epure

Academia Feteasca Neagra Moldovan Red Wine","description":"\u003cp\u003eChateau Purcari is Moldova’s premier winery, founded as early as 1827 when it was granted the title of first official winery in Bessarabia, Moldova’s predecessor. The winery is famed for being a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, its use of indigenous grapes and its similarities to Bordeaux wine. The two locations are located at a similar latitude and Purcari soils are remarkably similar to those in Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcademia Purcari, our most ambitious project to date, is a collection of premium wines that delves deeply into the identity and strong character of local wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of centuries of experience and continuous research on the Purcari terroir and the congruence of bold experiments, Academia Purcari is a collection of wines created according to the absolute rules of nature: sun, water, soil, with vinification and maturation in clay amphorae and a short rest in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacing nature’s perfection, man has little left to do but glorify the place and carry the story forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__row\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen creating Academia Purcari, several important factors were harmoniously aligned. The first is the terroir, whose unique composition and diverse positioning ensure the excellence of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated on the west coast of the Dniester River, at an altitude of 110-185 meters above the Black Sea, the Purcari vineyards cover an area of over 260 hectares and have an ideal microclimate for the production of high quality wines, which protects vineyards from frost in winter and heat in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe climate is characterised by active temperatures of up to 33°C and a relative humidity of 0.68-0.75.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Purcari micro-zone is known for its unique soil composition - clay chernozem, carbonised sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__body__top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmphorae is a tool that allows us to understand how some wines can evolve both during maceration and after, without having certain elements that interfere with its evolution. For the maturation of the wines from the Academia Purcari collection, we use high quality Italian amphorae, whose composition has all the necessary characteristics for the highest quality vinification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story__column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fermentation in clay amphora allowed us to obtain pure wines, which evolved without the involvement of other factors. These wines, produced from the best grapes in Moldova, cleaned, cooled and allowed to follow their path to fermentation naturally, allowed us to obtain a pure result, which deviates from market trends, offering an absolutely unique tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slope orientation determines the soil characteristics, which play an important role in forming the wine flavours and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe provision of the vineyards with light and heat also depends on the degree of the slope. The location of the hills allows maximum exposure to the sunlight, helping vines to grow and grapes to ripen. The slope also facilitates water drainage. Thereby, vine roots penetrate deep through the layers of carbon soil in search of water, and the planting in ordered rows allows good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElegant, distinctive and deeply rooted in Moldovan heritage, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurcari Academia Rara Neagra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a remarkable red wine that celebrates one of the region’s most treasured indigenous grape varieties.
