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。
Toro (almost) didn't suffer the frost of 2017 that decimated Ribera del Duero, and in that early harvest, the grapes for the 2017 Pintia were picked between September 6th and 17th trying to keep the freshness and acidity. They also did a softer extraction, reduced the percentage of wine that went through malolactic in barrel and used less American oak for the élevage, trying to achieve a more elegant wine. Still the wine is ripe, juicy, round and powerful at 15% alcohol, with a mellow palate with a pH of 3.9 and 4.5 grams of acidity. The wine matured in new and used oak barrels for 12 months. It feels quite fresh and harmonious, not showing any heat, not as fresh and atypical as 2016. It keeps the poise and the balance and has abundant but fine tannins. These wines repay time in bottle, and even if approachable now, it should get better with time. It's like a refined version of the 2015. A triumph over the adverse conditions of the year. 204,240 bottles, 6,720 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in May 2019.
