TEMPOS VEGA SICILIA | PINTIA 2020 75cl

Pintia 2020 – Elegant and Powerful Tinta de Toro

Product Description

In the elevated highlands of Toro, where the sun scorches and the wind shapes the grape, Pintia 2020 is born, Tempos Vega Sicilia's expression in a dry stone temple. This single varietal of Tinta de Toro comes from old vines cultivated at 700m altitude. It ferments in oak and steel, ages 12–13 months in barrels (70% French, 30% American), and some batches rest in amphorae, always seeking freshness and elegance in a rugged terroir. The result is a deep, structured, and profoundly authentic wine, a pulse of fruit, earth, and the air of Toro.
