Description

The delicate combination of freshness and complexity of a Toro wine

The property

Since its acquisition by the Álvares family in 1982, Vega Sicilia has continued to grow and establish its international reputation. Today, a continual pursuit of excellence, harmony with nature, hard work and unfailing commitment make this Spanish estate a prestigious name. Over the years, other wineries like Pintia have come to embrace and enhance the Vega Sicilia philosophy. Thus, the extreme care taken in the vineyards as well as in the vinification process is the sign of great Spanish wines from unique lands.

The wine

Bodega Pintia joined the Vega Sicilia estate in 1997, after a long process of replanting the vineyard and modernising infrastructure.

Vega Sicilia's Pintia explores the terroirs of Toro, an area with a long winemaking tradition near the Douro River. The vineyard is divided into several plots planted on a surface of 96 hectares, at an altitude of 700 metres on soils composed of clay, quartz and pebbles.

The continental climate is extreme, with hot, arid summers followed by very cold winters. These conditions are beneficial to an exceptional grape health and  an exceptional sanitary state and great taste quality of the grapes.

The vines, which are about 33 years old, are cultivated with the greatest care and attention. This 2018 vintage is made from grapes from the San Román de Hornija and Pedrosa del Rey plots.

Blend

100% Tinto de Toro, a local Tempranillo variety.
