Pittacum Mencía from Bierzo
Pittacum offers an expressive introduction to Mencía from Bierzo in north-west Spain. Old vineyards and careful selection shape a red that combines fruit, freshness and the added complexity of oak ageing.
Style and tasting notes
Fruit aromas are accompanied by spice and liquorice notes. The palate is juicy and flowing, with freshness and a persistent finish.
Food pairing ideas
Serve with grilled or braised meats, bean stews, mushroom pasta, cured meats or cheese. Its combination of fruit and acidity makes it a useful red to compare for a varied dinner menu.
Choosing your Spanish red
