2019 Bodegas Pintia, Toro, Spain

Description

In this big warm vintage lots of measures were taken by Gonzalo to retain freshness and he has excelled. The nose is intense and aromatic with a nice array of hedge fruits rising from the glass. On the palate there is a great deal of succulence and freshness behind the ripe fruits and the finish is filled with black pepper and nutmeg with a herbal undertone. A perfect balance between opulence and finesse this wine will age very well but is surprisingly open even now.

A quick harvest was the key to retaining freshness in the 2019 Pintia. The teams were out from the 6th of September,  and took the next 10 days to complete picking. This has a big yet fresh nose, with blackberries, wet stones, violets and a hint of cocoa. It’s full-bodied, mineral and broad on the palate with a coated mouthfeel, though it’s not heavy at all. This is a really elegant, nuanced and extremely poised Pintia that you can enjoy now, although I would love to see it evolve. Simply put - this is a gem!

About this wine

Tempranillo/Tinto Fino

A high quality red wine grape that is grown all over Spain except in the hot South - it is known as Tinto Fino in Ribera del Duero, Cencibel in La Mancha and Valdepenas and Ull de Llebre in Catalonia. Its spiritual home is in Rioja and Navarra where it constitutes around 70% of most red blends.

Toro

Toro

The wine region of Toro is a predominantly red-wine appellation in Castilla y León in north-western Spain. The region produces red wine across the spectrum from Joven to Gran Reserva, but all grades must be made from at least 75 percent Tinta de Toro. The best reds tend to contain 100 percent Tinta de Toro and are robust, concentrated and well-structured.

Bodegas Pintia

Vega Sicilia’s owners, the Álvarez family, bought Bodegas Pintia in 1996, attracted to the galet-strewn terroir in the northern Spanish region of Toro, the rich clay subsoils and the familiar altitude. They decided to produce an alternative expression of Vega Sicilia’s style of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) from this site. Toro’s main point of difference to Ribera del Duero is the ambient temperature, which can blaze in the height of summer. The challenge here is to match concentration with elegance, a challenge met by Bodegas Pintia with no shortage of aplomb.
