The Toro wine from the Álvarez family, owner of Vega Sicilia, is one of the most affordable references of this prestigious winery group.
The 2016 vintage has a very elegant balance, fresh and silky, but at the same time precise. The result of one of the longest harvests in the history of the winery, due to climatic conditions, this harvest allowed for greater extraction during the fermentation phase.
The independent character of the Vega Sicilia family. Pintia was born with a young, intense and groundbreaking spirit…Proud of its origin, it has known how to reinterpret the Vega Sicilia culture in a daring, brave and innovative way… Leading the emergence of a new generation of Toro wines.
As with all TEMPOS Vega Sicilia wines, the harvest is carried out manually in 12 kg boxes and the grapes, once placed in the winery, go through a cold chamber for 12 hours in order to preserve the fruit intensity.
The harvest took place from September 13 to October 7 (one of the longest harvests in our history) due to the low temperatures and rains in September and how the vineyard cycle had gone.
These conditions of the 2016 vintage allowed the extraction to be pushed a little further during the fermentation phase.
Apart from the selection carried out in the vineyard, a double selection is carried out in the winery. The first eliminated those clusters that could have been lost from the field and the second affects the defective berries that are in optimal clusters. A cold maceration is carried out for 5 days before fermentation, in oak wood vats.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in 100% wood. Subsequently, its passage through wood is divided between French and American oak for 12 months.
Aging for 12 months in French and American oak barrels. The aging takes place in French oak barrels (80% new) and American oak barrels (25% of the total).
Pintia is located on the banks of the Duero River, within the D.O. of Toro. The climatic conditions of extreme cold in winter and heat in summer influence its complex soils, whose main characteristic is the large number of pebbles.
For all this, it is essential to find the optimal harvest time so as not to lose either the freshness of the aromas or the acidity of the wine.
During aging, the percentage of new barrels was 80%, increasing the American oak by 5% to 25%, to provide greater density to the wine. 75% French oak is used for this aging phase.
Pintia 2016 has a very elegant balance, fresh and silky, but at the same time precise. Average age of the vineyard 32 years.
