Tempos Vega-Sicilia Pintia Toro 2019

Pintia lies on the banks of the Duero River, within the DO Toro. The extremely cold winters and hot summers have an effect on the complex soils, which are rich in pebbles.

It is therefore essential to pick the grapes at the right moment to preserve the fresh aromas and acidity of the wine.

The vintage was hot and dry. It rained just before the harvest, which helped to tame the powerful, concentrated and rustic skins. This vintage was more about infusion than extraction. 15% of the wine was aged in large containers to preserve its fruitiness and freshness.

It was a vintage of great concentration, so the influence of the toasted oak was limited in favor of freshness.
