Tasting Notes For Torres Purgatori Red Blend 2013

In 1770, a group of monks broke the rules of their order and they were exiled to this harsh, rugged region to carry out penance. They soon discovered that the area was perfect for winegrowing and set out to make a wine that would return them to heaven’s good graces.
They succeeded, or so it seemed. Every year wine inexplicably vanished from the barrels, leaving them half empty. The monks believed that this was how the angels made them pay for their sins. We have now brought back these old Mediterranean varieties to produce Purgatori, which recalls the legend of the angels’ wine.
