winemaking
Affordable
Luxury
Differentiated
marketing
Purcari is positioned at the
intersections of three themes:
▪ Modern winemaking: the
company is brand, as opposed
to appellation- centric and runs
a cost-efficient business
▪ Affordable luxury: as an
aspirational brand, Purcari
wines are an example of
affordable luxury, building on a
heritage dating back to 1827
and ranking among the most
awarded wineries in Europe
▪ Differentiated marketing: the
company is not afraid to be
quirky about the way it
approaches marketing,
prioritizing digital channels
and focusing on engaging
content as opposed to
traditional advertising

improved product mix. Continue work on implementation of the
commercial strategy for China.
