PITTACUM AUREA RED WINE
Pittacum Áurea is a red wine made from the Mencía variety, aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months. It is part of the Bierzo D.O. The grapes arrive at the winery in small 12 kg capacity boxes. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks with punch-downs and light pump-overs during fermentation, which lasts for 15 days at a temperature of 28°C. It then remains in barrels for the full 14 months, during which time the wine is still and calm in the dark and cool cellar.
