Ribera Del Duero Virtual Tasting with Vicente Pliego of Pinea
PINEA is born of the founder's desire to make a wine on a par with the world’s finest....
Childhood friends Vicente Pliego and Hugo Del Pozzo founded Pinea with a simple but ambitious purpose: to produce one of the best wines in the world. To do so, they assembled 80 acres of mature vineyards ranging from 40 to 90+ years of age in Ribera del Duero, Spain. Their renowned winemaker Isaac Fernandez, applies passion to viticulture (sustainable and bio-dynamic) and attention to detail to produce wines that awaken a person’s senses, brings joy and creates memorable experiences.
Pinea is made with 100% Tempranillo grapes that reflects the heart of Spain's wine culture and the passion of it's artisans by utilizing time-honored viticultural and winemaking techniques. The focus on old vine viticulture, attention to detail and patience in wine making combine to create intense concentration and complex aromatics, with an elegant supple body present in each of their wines.
The fruit for the 2017 vintage of PINEA was sourced from our 80-acre Estate in Ribera del Duero which is a mosaic of seven primary vineyard parcels with different soil characteristics, slope and vines that range from 30 to 90+ years. Such amazing terroir provided the Pinea wine-making team an expansive selection of fruit giving great structure, acidity and complexity. We will have the great privilege of tasting two world class 2017 wines from Pinea with Vincente.
