繽蒂亞酒廠(Bodega y Vinedos PINTIA) 建立於1997年,與阿里昂酒廠 (ALIÓN)、歐瑞摩斯酒廠(TOKAJ-OREMUS) 一樣都隸屬於擁有美麗葡萄酒傳奇的維嘉西西里亞酒廠 (VEGA-SICILIA) 旗下。自 1997 年建立至今,雖然酒廠年齡尚輕,但繽蒂亞酒廠秉持著與維嘉西西里亞酒廠同樣的精神,堅守著高品規範,以期許提供消費者最優質的享受。擁有維嘉西西里亞酒廠的 Alvarez 家族在距離 San Ramon de Hornija 不到 100 公尺的地區購買了90公頃的土地,45 公頃種植 20 至40年樹齡的葡萄園,而另外 45 公頃為未種葡萄的土地。繽蒂亞酒廠於2004年推出首年份 2001 PINTIA 紅酒,第一次出擊就得到前所未有的成功,首批產量8萬瓶的葡萄酒上市一週
就獲得好評,更是應要求將上市產量提高到 14 萬瓶。這樣的狀況並不在預期的目標當中,但正因如此,更可看出繽蒂亞酒廠的品質與實力。如今,繽蒂亞紅酒的酒質濃郁卻優雅脫俗,跳脫多羅區紅酒常見的猛烈粗獷,是少數風格高雅的多羅紅酒之一。酒廠平均年產量皆在 10 萬瓶以上,產值更是高達千萬歐元。繽蒂亞酒廠並不因葡萄酒產量高而降低了品質的要求,不僅如此,酒廠更致力於葡萄品質的鑽研,期許提供消費者絕佳的優雅享受。因此,就讓這個令人驚艷的優
雅帶領大家一同在西班牙的葡萄酒世界裡遨翔吧。

It looks like 2012 closes a trio of very good vintages in Toro. The 2012 Pintia is produced with the local strain of Tempranillo called Tinta de Toro from their 100 hectares of head-pruned, mostly ungrafted (75%), old vineyards (40 to 60 years of age). The destemmed grapes fermented in oak vats, malolactic was in barrique, and the aging was in new 75% French and 25% American oak barrels. The nose is very fruit-driven and fresh; they usually start harvesting around September 15th to keep the freshness. It has some balsamic aromas, red and dark berries, as well as some orange peel characteristics, hints of chocolate, vanilla, smoke and roasted notes; the wine is still very young and in need of some bottle age, but will not be sold until the end of 2016. The palate is full-bodied, structured, largely built, powerful, concentrated, and slightly rustic with abundant tannins and good overall freshness. When tasted, new to the Alión and Vega Sicilia, the rusticity of the wine is obvious and the oak-related, spice and smoke aromas grow as the wine sits in the glass. It should develop and age nicely in bottle, but it feels too young now. 180,000 bottles produced.
