This is the new vintage of Pintia. The producer of this Spanish red wine, the legendary Vega Sicilia winery, has definitely succeeded in bringing out the best qualities of the bold Tinta de Toro grape.
The grapes are sourced from two plots with very different soils, situated at 700 metres of altitude and planted with vines around 35 years years of age.
The 2018 vintage was rainier and cooler than usual. Harvest was carried out between September 20 and October 7.
The grapes were hand-harvested, meticulously selected, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, Pintia 2018 was aged in mostly new French oak barrels (82%) and American oak barrels (18%) for 10 months.
Bottled in April 2020, this Crianza red wine of Bodegas Pintia was clarified with egg whites, bottled and aged for about 36 months before it hit the market.
Decant this red wine from Toro 2 hours before drinking.
