Product Notes

Bodegas Pittacum Petit Pittacum Tinto is a charming red wine from the celebrated region of Bierzo, Spain. A vibrant scarlet in hue, this wine is a fine blend of Mencía grapes, hand-harvested from old vines. On the nose, it displays inviting notes of ripe red fruits, spice and a hint of earthiness. The palate reveals plush flavours of red cherries, plums, complemented by smooth tannins and a subtle mineral edge. Its finish is delightfully long and satisfying. Enjoy this wine with a variety of dishes, from savoury tapas to robust stews. A splendid contemporary Spanish red wine.

About the Winery

Bodegas Pittacum

Situated in the picturesque region of Bierzo, North-Western Spain, lies the enchanting Bodegas Pittacum winery. Famed for its production of premium wines, this vineyard is cocooned in breath-taking landscapes ripe with ancient traditions.

The winery, first established in 1999, was founded to pay homage to the unique local grape variety: Mencía. The ambitious plan was to usher in a new era of refined Mencía wines and the Pittacum vineyard more than met this challenge. Their Mencía wines are famed for their distinct personality, rich subtlety and the unerring reflection of the diverse soils.

The journey of the wine begins in over 200 handpicked estates grown on slate and quartz soils. The wine undergoes a stringent ageing process, and it’s this patient maturing that gives Bodegas Pittacum's wines their distinctive character. From the Barrica, noted for its delicate balance and distinct minerality, to the Aurea, a single-vineyard masterpiece earning high praise in the world of winemaking.

It isn’t just the wine that sets Bodegas Pittacum apart. Housed in an exquisitely restored 19th-century building, the winery marries rustic charm with avant-garde technology. Each bottle produced is a testament to respect for tradition and passion for innovation. The environment fostered within Bodegas Pittacum is one of camaraderie, with the small yet dedicated team working together in pursuit of vineyard excellence.

In conclusion, a visit to Bodegas Pittacum is an immersion into the rich history and culture of the Bierzo region. It allows one to appreciate the work that goes into a bottle of wine, the unique melding of science and nature. After all for Bodegas Pittacum, winemaking is not merely a business but a thrilling journey from grape to glass!
