D.O. Toro
Power, Legacy, and Castilian Character
"Wines of monumental structure and renewed elegance, born from the Duero"
The Strength of Zamora's Terroir
Viticulture in Toro is an ode to resilience and authenticity. Certified by the Regulatory Council of D.O. Toro, the region is defined by an extreme continental climate and sandy soils that allowed many vines to survive the phylloxera plague. This unique environment forces the plants to root deep into the soil, resulting in wines of anthological tannic concentration that define the identity of Castile and León.

According to ampelographic studies published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, this variety has developed unique genetic characteristics due to its secular adaptation. Expect an explosion of ripe black fruits, notes of licorice, and a mineral background of limestone soil.
