Bodegas Pittacum is situated in the historic town of Arganza, inland of Galicia in the heart of Bierzo, in north-western Spain. Petit Pittacum is made from the Mencia grape, from small plots of organically grown 90-year-old vines situated in the foothills of the mountain range that makes up the Bierzo region. The vines are grown in clay soils on steep slopes and benefit from the unique local microclimate. The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted manually, and then fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel for 15 days. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for three months. This is a fresh and juicy red, similar in style to a young Rioja. Full of crunchy red fruits, cherry and cranberry with hints of herbs and spice and a touch of oak. A really good value natural red that keeps you coming back for more.
