Vega Sicilia, often referred to as the Lafite Of Spain, is Spain's most iconic winery.  The wines are on every wine-lover's bucket list.  At $500 per bottle, their flagship "Unico" falls outside the budget of most.

Many don't realize that Vega Sicilia has a world-class property in Toro, Spain, where Tempranillo is stunning!

There, the mountainous vineyards experience hot, dry summers and cold, harsh winters.  The fruit from this terroir makes our jaws drop in enjoyment with every Pintia release!

If Pintia had a different zip code (say, Rioja), it would be 4x the price!

"Brooding but fresh nose, with tarry blackberries and fresh blue fruit. Iron, wet stones, violets and a hint of mocha, too. Full-bodied, mineral and broad on the palate with a stony feel, though not heavy at all. A really elegant, nuanced and extremely poised Pintia that you can enjoy now and for the next decade. A really eclectic Pintia showing more elegance and calculation." James Suckling

Here's what we love most about Vega Sicilia's Pintia:

The wine drinks soooo much better than the press.

If you love great reds, Pintia is a must-have!  

If you love Cabernet Sauvignon, Pintia is a great alternative!  

If you love Tempranillos, Pintia is a cellar essential!

Vega Sicilia wines are known for their robust and structured frame.  We love Pintia for its approachability.  It will pair well with steak and grilled cuisine.

Of course, we thoroughly enjoy this wine on its own and could make a meal of it simply with a wedge of Manchego!

Cheers!
