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.

Tobacco, leather and tea flavors frame a core of cherry and dried fig notes in this red, with firm tannins and orange peel acidity showing an austere character, though this has balance and depth. Drink now through 2028.

Bodegas Pintia
Das berühmteste Weingut in Ribera del Duero, Vega Sicilia, eröffnete 1997 in Toro einen neuen Betrieb namens Pintia. Nach dem Erwerb von 100 Hektar mit alten Tinto-de-Toro-Reben, in etwa 100 Kilometer Entfernung flussabwärts von ihren anderen Anwesen, entschied sich die Familie Álvarez für San Román de Hornija als Heimat von Pintia. In den Anfangsjahren experimentierte sie hier mit verschiedenen Weinbau- und Vinifikationstechniken, um das wahre Potential der Toro freizusetzen. Um die urwüchsige Kraft der Toro-Reben zu erhalten, entschied man sich schließlich für einen Stil, bei dem die Fruchtigkeit der Trauben bewahrt wird, wobei es gelungen ist, die elegantesten Weine der Appellation herzustellen. Heute produziert das Gut nur einen Wein, der die Spitze der neuen Generation von Toro-Weinen anführt und passenderweise den Namen Pintia trägt. Es ist ein differenzierter, handgelesener reiner Tempranillo, reich und intensiv.
