Pintia Toro Tinto

Description

Around 1995, the Álvarez family had already embarked on their foray into the wine world, buoyed by the experience and successful evolution of the group’s gem, Vega‑Sicilia, and with their new project, Alión, already underway. It was time to broaden their horizons. Once the decision was made, they set things in motion and began buying any old vines that were available, choosing the desert of San Román de Hornija—a zone of rocks formed by the Duero deposits since time immemorial. Over the four years that followed, they conducted several production experiments to discover the potential of Toro wines. After this challenging experience was completed, they concluded that the most important aspect of the style lies in preserving the grape’s fruity profile. The entire winemaking and ageing process is centred on its preservation, while simultaneously striving to give it the maximum elegance possible in such an austere region as Toro.
