Brooding but fresh nose, with tarry blackberries and fresh blue fruit. Iron, wet stones, violets and a hint of mocha, too. Full-bodied, mineral and broad on the palate with a stony feel, though not heavy at all. A really elegant, nuanced and extremely poised Pintia that you can enjoy now and for the next decade. A really eclectic Pintia showing more elegance and calculation. Drink or hold

Pintia is located on the banks of the Duero River, within the Toro Appellation of Castilla y Lion wine region. The extreme weather conditions, very cold in the winter and intense heat in the summertime, act upon its complex soils characterized by large amount of pebbles.
As part of determination to achieve the elegance of a Vega Sicilia, it is essential to choose just the right time to harvest so as to safeguard the freshness of aromas and the wine's acidity.
During the ageing process, the aim to fine-tune its personality by undertaking malolactic fermentation, 60% in barrel, (80% in French oak barrels and 20% American oak), later sitting in the bottle until it is perfect for drinking.
