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, master balance. Partially aged in larger older barrels to retain freshness, old vine Tempranillo shines with the darkest of red fruits, purple flowers, spice Christman cake, and toasty earth. In classic Vega Sicilia fashion, the tannins are long and exceptionally creamy, making this a very safe and good choice for enjoying now. ~Allegra Angelo
