Pintia 2017

Pintia 2017 is a bold, premium Tempranillo from Toro in Castilla y León, crafted by the legendary Vega Sicilia team with the kind of precision and ambition that quickly put the estate among the region’s most respected names. It combines power, depth, and refinement, making it a standout for lovers of structured Spanish reds.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, Pintia 2017 shows impressive concentration and a polished, full-bodied profile. The nose is layered with dark forest berries, vanilla, leather, and tobacco, all supported by warm spice and subtle oak complexity. On the palate, it is rich and intense, with ripe fruit, firm structure, and a long, persistent finish. The blend of French and American oak ageing adds texture and complexity without overpowering the wine’s core of dark, expressive Tempranillo. It has the structure to age beautifully and will continue to gain nuance over the coming years.

Production
Pintia comes from Toro, a hot and demanding part of Castilla y León known for its low yields and powerful wines. The vineyards benefit from a harsh continental climate that encourages concentration, while careful viticulture and low-production farming help preserve freshness and balance. After harvest, the Tempranillo is aged for 12–15 months in French and American oak barrels, giving the wine its depth, spice, and refined structure.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled ribeye, slow-braised lamb, roast beef, or hearty game dishes, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours to allow the wine’s aromas and structure to fully open up.

Producer
Pintia was created by Bodegas Vega Sicilia, one of Spain’s most iconic wine producers, after the estate identified exceptional potential in the Toro region. Since its first vintage in 2001, Pintia has built a reputation for producing some of the area’s most powerful and expressive wines, helped by expert winemaking from Xavier Ausás López de Castro and the estate’s meticulous approach to vineyard work.
