The
talent of rebelliousness
The independent member of the Vega
Sicilia family. Pintia is young, intense and ground-breaking in nature.
Proud of its origin, it has
managed to reinterpret the Vega Sicilia culture in an innovative, brave and daring manner, at the
head of the emergence of a new generation of Toro wines.
As is
the case of all TEMPOS Vega Sicilia wines, the harvest is by
hand with the fruit being placed in 12-kg boxes and grapes, once in the winery,
they are left in a cold chamber for 12 hours in order to preserve their fruit
intensity.
Along
with the selection on the wine, a double sorting is carried out in the winery. This
first removes those bunches that may have been wrongly picked in the field and
the second focuses on the substandard berries that are found on optimum
bunches. A cold
maceration is carried out for 5 days prior to fermentation in oak wood vats.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in 100% wood. Subsequently, it is aged in French and American oak for 12 months.
These are wines of great intensity of color and depth, cherry red with cardinal edges. The nose is broad, very clean, expressive and elegant, with great fruity intensity, wrapped in subtle, high quality wood. The palate offers a great structure, good tannic presence and a very friendly, fresh and persistent palate. Floral hints in retronasal.
