Good To Know: Pintia was another secret project of the world renowned winery, Vega Sicilia. Their goal was to set the bar for wines produced in the region, focusing primarily on eliminating the stigma of Tinta de Toro (a think skinned clone of Tempranillo) being an "all power, no finesse" wine, and elevating its aromatic purity and elegance, creating a unique style that would set the benchmark for contemporary wines in the region.

Vega Sicilia purchased the plots for Pintia secretly around 1997 and began experimenting and improving both their vineyard practices and their vinification methods. They released their first vintage of Pintia in 2001 and received critical acclaim and praise from critics and collectors alike. Today, Pintia has become known for having the style and class of a Vega Sicilia Group wine, but with the extra spicy, forceful presence that can only be found from the unique terroir of Toro.

Pintia 2020 is a powerful yet elegant red wine from Toro, crafted by Bodegas Pintia under the prestigious Vega Sicilia group. Made from 100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) sourced from 35-year-old vines at 700 meters altitude, the grapes are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and fermented in both stainless steel and oak vats before spending 12 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels, stainless steel, and clay amphorae. Bottled in August 2022 after extended bottle aging, it shows a deep purple hue with garnet reflections and aromas of ripe berries, prunes, violets, balsamic herbs, cocoa, and subtle spice. The palate is plush and juicy yet fresh, with velvety tannins, elegant acidity, and layers of black fruit, graphite, sandalwood, and dark olives leading to a long, refined finish. This vintage is approachable yet built to age beautifully into the late 2030s.

Given the high concentration of this vintage, we took care to minimize the impact of toasted oak in order to preserve the wine's freshness. Pintia 2019 is characterized by its energy, boldness, and full-bodied nature, yet it also exhibits a silky texture. Despite the challenges of taming this powerful vintage, we are pleased with the final outcome.

I first visited without notice to scout the venue for a business meeting, and they kindly showed me around. This time, I returned for a private dinner.

Communication via WhatsApp was seamless and friendly, allowing us to pre-order the Gambas al Ajillo and Cochinillo. The Gambas was cooked to perfection with amazing flavor, and the Cochinillo was a masterpiece—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.

The timing of the service was impeccable. Thank you for a beautiful evening. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back ☺️
