Pittacum

Pittacum reflects the perfect heritage of the Romans path through Spain. Named after the archeological remains of a Baccus medallion (God of wine) found in the vineyards. Pittacum is the result of the “savoir-faire” of generations of winemakers from Bierzo valley. Farming 190 plots in 45 hectares, carrying an engineered viticulture process by winemaker Alfredo Marqués, where 85 years-old Mencía vines lay out. The result is an outstanding 100% Mencía wine with long, ine, extremely silky thread of fruit tannin all the way down the palate. Spicy as a Cabernet franc, yet fresh, with the Atlantic inluence of a Pinot noir. One of the best rated Mencías in the world, only over passed by his eldest brother, Pittacum Aurea.
