Penin

With an intense, cherry-red color accented by hints of crimson, the 2012 Pintia reveals a broad, very precise, expressive, and elegant nose, offering fruity intensity framed by subtle, high-quality oak. A red wine with beautiful structure, good tannic presence, and a very pleasant, fresh, and lingering palate. Floral notes on the finish—a Toro of great pedigree!
