For Pittacum, and in general for all the wineries of the group, the quality of a great wine is necessarily in line with an excellent raw material. Therefore, different places of origin in terms of soils, slopes, orientations and microclimates, allow them to attain grapes with quite distinct characteristics. Each variety is vinified separately and then they are mixed in the percentages that they deem suitable.
This is why at Pittacum, apart from the 5 hectares of vineyard in property, with excellent old vines, for the production of their wines, they also search for the best grapes around the different areas of El Bierzo. Just like with their own vines, they also carry out a complete follow-up up of these vines throughout the year.
They only choose old vines from 50 to 110 years old, located on poor soils and with suitable productions. A periodic monitoring of each vineyard allows them to choose the plot and the appropriate harvest time.
Green operations are also frequent, such as trimming, removal of shoots, de-leafing and thinning of bunches, when necessary. This allows them to keep a suitable microclimate for each plant, keeping the bunches airy and properly illuminated to favour their ripening.
