Purgatori Organic, DO Costers del Segre

Purgatori pays tribute to the Benedictine monks once sent to this remote estate at L’Aranyó to do penance by working the land. What they discovered was an exceptional terroir capable of producing distinctive wines. Since 2012, the winery has carried on that legacy with a fresh, elegant wine full of character. Beginning with the 2022 vintage, Purgatori blends Garnacha with the ancestral variety Gonfaus, rediscovered by the winery in 1998 and later planted on the estate.
