TASTING NOTES
Wine is a product of the earth and therefore is naturally associated to its terroir. Drinking a bottle of Pittacum must then transport us to its place of origin, serving as medium to perceive and feel the nuances and the essence of the land of the Bierzo and its climate. A healthy and pleasurable feeling. Pittacum has an intense colour with elegant nose. Fresh red fruits, spices, chinese ink and minerals. Fluid and juicy with a long finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Pittacum’s profile allows for a rich and varied matching to dishes and foods: grilled or stewed meats, legume pottages, certain ways of prepare fish, but also cold meats, cheeses, pasta, empanadas (Galician savory pie), salads when properly dressed.
