The Pintia estate was created by the Alvarez family (owners of world famous Vega Sicilia). In 1996 they bought an old vineyard in Toro planted with ungrafted, 25 to 50 year old Tinto del Toro (the local name for Tempranillo) vines and at the same time began planting more, so they could expand production over time. They also built a state of the art winery, which blends in beautifully with the surroundings. This majestic, old-vine red was aged for a year in new French (70%) and US oak to give an elegant wrap of complexity. Enjoy with your finest red meat or game dishes
“Bodegas Pintia is owned by the famous estate, Vega Sicilia. The 2007 Pintia has a deep garnet core. The bouquet is powerful, almost as intense as the 2004, but it exhibits greater delineation and perhaps even more complexity. There are gorgeous notes of dark cherries, cassis and touches of dried violets. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded mouthfeel – a smooth, suave Pintia with layers of red fruit laced with dried herbs, cedar and a hint of Moroccan spice. The tannins are soft but define the 2007 at the moment. There remains some oak to be subsumed towards the finish, which exerts a firm grip. This deserves two or three years longer in bottle – this is a little harlot of a wine!”.
