From the distributor:

Ripe strawberry, plums, some licorice and a touch of chocolate lit bright but with a bit of funk. It’s perfectly medium-bodied, plump and round with a corset of savory finely-chiselled tannin. Just a fun, light and airy drink that finishes dry and keeps you coming back for more.

Tintito is designed to be a savory yet fruit-driven Mediterranean style red. High drinkability and juiciness being the key factors the Somos boys looked for. This is a mystery red blend from Ben and Mauricio, though sitting down with Ben over a few beers got the cépage and vineyard sourcing out of him! It’s a compilation of predominantly Grenache (spice and red fruit) with nearly equal parts Touriga Naçional (tannin and density) and Tinta Cão (earthy aromatics and dusty tannins) with a little smattering of Carignan and Cinsault (color and brightness). The aim here was to create “a wine driven by primary berry fruit, savory spice and acid line...a textural light red,” according to Mauricio. Mission accomplished!
