Description

2019:

“Ripe blackberries, tar, dark cherries and dark spices. Fine cocoa powder, too. Rich and full-bodied on the palate with a saline smack to the middle. Very long and powerful but expressive and refined. A little richer and more powerful than 2018, but elegant and poised at the same time. Vertical, fine-grained tannins. Drink from 2026.”

2020:

Another combination of freshness and profoundness from Toro. Blackberries, graphite, ashtray, sandalwood, cocoa powder and dark olives on the nose. Fresh-veined, chalky tannins tighten the palate, with a nervy backbone. The tannins extend to a lengthy finish. Ripe but fresh. Drink from 2026.

 

The Producer

 

Pintia is the labour of love of the great Vega Sicilia. Not content with making Spain’s most famous fine wine in their home territory of Ribera del Duero, they’ve been tempted westward by the outstanding potential of sleepy Toro. A combination of ancient bush vines, year long sunlight and cooling, high altitude makes reds of astonishing darkness and richness. So much so that Columbus took them when he sailed to America – they were said to be the only wines that could survive the trip. Pintia is made purely from Tinto del Toro, harvested from vines over 40 years old. Grapes go through two selections – in the vineyard and the winery – with ageing for a year in mostly French oak, new and seasoned. Dense, rich yet with freshness and balance.
