Description
Pingus from Dominio de Pingus is an iconic red wine from Ribera del Duero, Spain, made with 100% Tempranillo grapes from very old vineyards, grown according to organic and biodynamic principles. The soils of the three different vineyard plots range from clay to pure limestone. Production is extremely limited and the name of the estate recalls the nickname of its founder, the Danish engineer Peter Sissek.
The vinification is done with traditional and meticulous methods, with fermentation taking place both in steel tanks and in wooden vats, using only indigenous yeasts. While the malolactic fermentation and the 20-22 month refinement take place in new French oak barriques, without clarification, filtration or stabilization.
Deep pomegranate red in color, it offers complex aromas of black fruits, toasted and balsamic notes. On the palate it is elegant, powerful, with silky tannins and an incredibly long finish. This red wine combines power, finesse and complexity.
It pairs perfectly with roast suckling pig, hare and beef entrecote.
