Petit Pittacum Magnum is a young red wine from the D.O. Bierzo, produced by Bodegas Pittacum. It uses the native Mencía variety, which is indigenous to this region in Northwestern Spain, where the Atlantic climatic conditions allow the grapes to develop fragrant and fresh aromas, offering great expressiveness. This wine aims to show the most accessible and fruity side of Bierzo while maintaining its identity and character.
The grapes come from vineyards located on predominantly clay soils with slate, contributing to a perfect balance in ripening. Hand harvesting is manually done, and vinification includes moderate macerations and controlled fermentation, which helps preserve the aromatic purity of the grapes. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a brief aging in French oak, which provides structure and complexity without overshadowing the flavors of the fruit.
In the glass, Petit Pittacum Magnum presents a bright cherry red color with violet reflections. Aromatically, it is elegant and expressive, highlighting the aromas of cherry, raspberry, and violets against an attractive mineral and spicy background. On the palate, this wine shows a medium body, is juicy and balanced, with soft tannins and good acidity. Its finish is fresh and persistent, inviting further enjoyment.
It is a modern and versatile wine, perfect for enjoying young and also ideal for accompanying traditional dishes such as cold cuts, rice, pizza, and grilled meats, emphasizing its friendly and gastronomic profile.
