Pintia Red wine

Pintia 2019 is a remarkable red wine crafted by Bodegas Pintia, a part of the prestigious Vega Sicilia family. With an alcohol content of 15%, this expressive wine showcases the Tinta de Toro grape variety, embodying a vibrant and innovative spirit that reflects the independent essence of Vega Sicilia. The winemaking process emphasizes meticulous care, starting with handpicked grapes collected in 12 kg boxes. Once in the winery, the grapes undergo a cold storage period of 12 hours to preserve their fruity intensity.

The selection process is rigorous, featuring two rounds of sorting. The first eliminates any clusters that may not meet the standard from the vineyard, while the second focuses on removing any defective berries from the optimal clusters. Following this, a cold maceration of five days takes place in oak barrels prior to fermentation, which is conducted entirely in wood. The wine then ages for 12 months, using a blend of French and American oak, allowing it to develop its robust yet velvety character.

Pintia 2019 stands out with its deep cherry color highlighted by cardinal hues. The nose is broad and expressive, offering pure and elegant aromas with a strong fruit presence complemented by subtle, high-quality oak undertones. On the palate, it delivers impressive structure and a pleasant tannic presence, providing a fresh and persistent finish, enhanced by floral notes on the retro-nasal passage.

This wine is ready to be enjoyed now but has an excellent aging potential of up to 15 years when stored under optimal conditions of 12-14 ºC and 60% humidity. It pairs wonderfully with a wide array of dishes, including stews, roasted lamb, game birds, sheep cheeses, and beef, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. Experience the essence of Toro with Pintia 2019, a true testament to the bold and innovative legacy of Vega Sicilia.
