2016 vintage
Pintia 2016 is a remarkable expression from the Toro D.O., crafted from 100% Tinta de Toro. Awarded 95 points by The Wine Advocate, Luis Gutiérrez notes its lower alcohol content and vibrant freshness, resulting from a cooler, drier vintage. The wine underwent fermentation in oak vats and matured mostly in new French oak, with some American oak for added density. It displays complex aromas of black and red fruits, cocoa, and roasted notes, while the palate is medium-bodied and fluid, showcasing abundant chalky tannins and a long, dry finish. Vinous also rates it 95 points, highlighting its vibrant acidity and elegant profile, making this vintage an excellent choice for both immediate enjoyment and further aging.
