Characteristics Pittacum
Pittacum is a red wine produced in D.O. Bierzo by the Bodegas Pittacum winery.
It is a mono-varietal wine of the autochthonous Mencía variety, from old vines spread over 200 different plots with sloping soils, good drainage and a great deal of depth that help a proper ripening.
Harvesting is by hand, and the grapes are transferred to the winery in small boxes of only 12 Kg capacity, avoiding breakage in the grapes as much as possible before arriving at the cellar. Once in the cellar, the bunches pass through a selection table.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 15 days at a temperature of 25ºC.
After these 15 days a bleed is carried out and it is kept in the tanks for a month before being transferred to American and French oak barrels where it is aged for 8 months.
Once the aging is finished, Pittacum is bottled and then stands for 2 years before coming on the market.
A great, highly expressive wine of the D.O. Bierzo.

Tasting notes Pittacum
Pittacum 2012 is a powerful, meaty and full-bodied red wine. A good vintage in which it is notable for its balance on the nose between the varietal aromas and the notes of aging. On the palate it is intense, with a mouthfeel revealing structure and volume and with a very lingering finish.
This red wine is strong and convincing in the mouth with bulky attack and warming and very tasty on the palate. Covers the palate with with sensations of fruity jam and toasted touches. Excellent acidity which brings freshness. Noticeable, direct tannins, somewhat rough. Very long finish leaving toasted and spicy notes at retro-olfaction.
Intense, ripe picota cherry colour with a purple rim. Bright, clean and high robe. Dense tears stain the glass.
Intense aromas of black and red fruit, which give way to toasted notes, cocoa, toffee, tobacco and traces of minerals, graphite and humid soil. Minty and balsamic undertones.

A tasty, dry, astringent and fleshy Bierzo wine with a delicate attack and a soft, silky and delicious mid palate. Its notes of liquorised fruit are nuanced by nicely integrated roasted aromas and wooden notes. Excellent acidity and slightly astringent tannins. Its very long finish leaves a smoky aftertaste.
Intense and dark cherry colour with purple edges. Bright and with a high robe. Dense tears that stain the glass.
Intense varietal aromas with lots of suggestive red and black fruit that becomes increasingly expressive and explodes once it opens up. It is nuanced by the intense roasted notes, the notes of cocoa, toffee, tobacco and the mineral hints of damp earth. It has a very good balsamic background, full of menthol, eucalyptus and liquorice.

The origins of Pittacum can be found in the Valley of O Rosal, Rías Baixas, in Bodega Terras Gauda. Today, with 15 years of experience, personality, regularity and quality remain the three key premises that define Pittacum's commitment to their project in El Bierzo. Here, the forty hectares of old vineyards, distributed in two hundred plots on the skirts of the mountain range, are the ones that nourish their wines.
