Great wine! Upcoming producer from the famous region of Ribera del Duero. The PINEA story is really a love story. Love of wine and love of the northern Ribera del Duero, where the character of the Tempranillo grape is brought out like nowhere else in the world. Pinea is a resounding expression of our terroir, combining strength, structure and complexity in a delicate balance. Vinification in new (80%) and used (20%) fine-grained, medium-toasted French oak barrels, from the alcoholic fermentation through the malolactic fermentation to the end of the ageing process. The wine is ready to be enjoyed as soon as you have the bottle in your hands, but it reaches its best about 6-7 years later.
