Vega Sicilia Pintia is a red wine hailing from the Toro wine region and crafted by Bodegas y Viñedos Pintia, a winery affiliated with the Vega Sicilia group. Pintia is celebrated for its robust and commanding wines, primarily fashioned from the Tinta de Toro grape variety, a local clone of Tempranillo. The 2018 Pintia vintage emerged from a cooler and wetter growing season, yet impressively retains a 15% ABV. This year`s élevage was briefer, with a maturation period of 10 months in French and American oak barrels. The nose is dominated by vibrant cherry fruit, embodying a fresher and more refined character compared to the regional norm. Upon tasting, the palate experiences a medium-bodied texture and unravels with the presence of fine and elegant tannins, adding further charm to this remarkable release.
