Product: 2017 Petit Pittacum, Bierzo, Aurea Mencia
Pittacum Aurea is an intense and complex expression of the Mencía variety, a result of Pitticum’s well-oriented, old vines, and the care taken in both the vineyard and cellar by the winemaking team. Rich in colour with elegant red cherries and currants on the nose, this is pure Mencía fragrance. Good minerality with earthy, stony notes, a balanced and fresh palate, and a long finish. Vinification in stainless steels tanks is followed by a period of maturation in new French oak.<br/>Viñedos y Bodegas Pitticum is located in the town of Arganza, part of the naturally beautiful and picturesque region of Berciana and is covered under the DO of Bierzo. Pitticum was created in 1999 with the aim of producing wines with personality to showcase the local variety, Mencía, that this region is famous for. The mild climate here is regulated by humidity from the coast. Old vines are planted on 5-hectares of mineral-rich terroir. Grapes are sorted cluster by cluster in order to use only the healthiest and ripest bunches. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks whilst punching down and pumping over is carried out manually, for selective extraction of tannins.<br/>Food matches: Pair with roast lamb, beef stews, grilled meats and game cooked in the wine itself.
