The wine was aged for 13 months in a mix of French (70%) and American oak (30%), striking a balance between freshness and complexity. With an ABV of 15%, the 2019 Pintia is approachable now but will continue to evolve and improve through 2031. It pairs excellently with red meats or game, aligning with its bold and structured profile.

This release emphasizes a slightly softer vinification process to preserve fruit purity, making it a refined expression of Toros terroir while maintaining the hallmark intensity of Vega Sicilia wines.
