VEGA SICILIA PINTIA 1500 ml

Discover Vega Sicilia Pintia, a bold red wine born from an audacious venture into Spain's Toro region. In 1997, Vega Sicilia turned their gaze to this rugged stretch along the Duero River, acquiring vineyards in a land famed for robust wines that pack personality yet often lack refinement. What followed was a clandestine pursuit of excellence, as the team honed their craft over four dedicated years before unveiling the inaugural 2001 vintage under the Pintia name.

Toro unfolds in fiercer, warmer landscapes downstream from Vega Sicilia's home base, edging toward the Portuguese frontier where the Duero transforms into the storied Douro. Here, elevations dip just below those of Ribera del Duero, around 500 to 700 meters, fueling scorching daytime heat while sharp nocturnal drops safeguard the wine's vibrant fruit and crisp acidity. This dynamic climate infuses Pintia with a distinctive edge, capturing Toro's untamed spirit through Vega Sicilia's visionary touch.

At 15% ABV and presented in a generous 1.5-liter bottle, Vega Sicilia Pintia stands ready to elevate your gatherings or quiet evenings. Priced at 278.49, this Spanish red from Toro invites you to explore its depth, reflecting a legacy of innovation in one of the Duero's wilder corners. Whether pairing with hearty meals or savoring solo, Pintia delivers the region's character elevated to new heights, a testament to patient mastery in a challenging terrain.

Embrace the journey from Toro's sun-baked vines to your table. Vega Sicilia Pintia isn't just wine—it's a narrative of transformation, where raw power meets subtle grace, all bottled for those who seek something extraordinary from Spain's hidden gems.
