Vega Sicilia-Pintia Toro | 2020

Pintia is a generous expression of Tempranillo grown in a hot, dry climate. Sourced from deceptively high vineyards (700m) with an average vine age of 35-40 years, Pintia continues to prove that high alcohol wines can, also, achieve balance. Partially aged in larger older barrels to retain freshness, old vine Tempranillo shines with the darkest of red fruits, purple flowers, spiced Christman cake, and toasty earth. The tannins are long-legged and exceptionally firm, then creamy. Classic Vega. ~Allegra Angelo
