VINIFICATION:

The grapes arrive at the winery in small 12-kg boxes. Each cluster is carefully selected on the sorting table. Next, after destemming and without crushing, the harvest is transferred to tanks where it ferments for 15 days at 25°C. During this time, the wine is punched down and lightly pumped over with the aim of achieving selective extraction and preserving all of its fruit.

TASTING NOTES:

Intense color, expressive on the nose with black fruit aromas. On the palate, it is fleshy, with soft tannins, persistent, juicy, and fresh.

WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS:

The deep soils, their water retention potential, and the strong root systems of our old vineyards guarantee the expression and Atlantic character of Petit Pittacum, even in challenging and extreme vintages like 2022.

FOOD PAIRING:

Petit is a wine that pairs easily with a wide range of foods and dishes. Succulent traditional legume stews, poultry and rice dishes, cephalopods such as octopus, oily fish, cured meats, sautéed or stewed mushrooms, tortillas, and empanadas, including fish-filled varieties.
