Pittacum Red wine

Experience the exceptional Pittacum red wine from the 2020 vintage, meticulously crafted by Losada Vinos de Finca. This wine showcases a remarkable blend of tradition and innovation, presenting itself with an intense, dark cherry color and alluring purple edges. With an alcohol content of 14.5% and made entirely from Mencia grapes sourced from old vines grown on sloped terrain, Pittacum embodies the very essence of the Bierzo region.

The grapes are nurtured in deep, moderately fertile, well-drained soils, ensuring a restrained vigor that allows for optimal ripening. Over the course of 15 years, extensive studies have been conducted to pinpoint the best viticultural areas within the estate, revealing the true potential of each unique slice of land.

Upon pouring, Pittacum enchants with its dense, slow-moving tears that cling to the glass. The nose is greeted with intense varietal aromas of red and black fruits that evolve subtly as the wine opens up, revealing intriguing layers of toasted notes, cocoa, toffee, and a hint of tobacco, complemented by distant mineral undertones reminiscent of damp earth. An impressive balsamic foundation enriched with menthol, eucalyptus, and licorice makes this wine incredibly complex.

On the palate, Pittacum delivers a rich, dry, and meaty experience, offering a delicate entry that transforms into a smooth, velvety mouthfeel packed with flavor. The luscious fruit is harmoniously intertwined with well-integrated oak characteristics, supported by excellent acidity and tannins that provide a slightly astringent finish. The long-lasting finish leaves a smoky aftertaste, inviting you to savor every moment.

This exquisite wine pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, stews, aged cheeses, acorn-fed Iberian ham, beef, veal in sauce, and red meats with savory sauces. Elevate your dining experience with Pittacum, a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of Bierzo. Embrace the bold flavors and timeless quality that make this wine a true standout.
