Forty hectares of old vineyards, spread over two hundred plots on the slopes of the mountainous belt that forms the Bierzo wine region, are the source that nourishes Pittacum 2020. More than fifteen years of studying the qualities of a large variety of soils have been necessary to deeply understand the territory and select soils with a true winemaking vocation for this red wine you should not miss.

The winery
Originating from Rías Baixas, the geographical expansion process of Grupo Terras Gauda began in Bierzo in 2003 with Bodegas Pittacum, located in Arganza (León). Extracting the maximum typicity of the mencía grape is the purpose of this winery, which has 220 plots spread over 40 hectares of old vineyards in the mountainous Bierzo belt. Around 40% of the sales of Pittacum Barrica, Petit Pittacum, Pittacum Aurea, and La Prohibición, made with Garnacha Tintorera from century-old vines, are destined for export markets, with China, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Austria leading its internationalization.
Respect for origin, boosting internationalization, and environmental care are the major commitments of the Grupo Terras Gauda.
