Bigardo
Tinta de Toro • Artisan Wine
"Rebellious by nature, elegant by conviction: a wine that breaks the mold to show the freshest and most authentic side of Toro. Kiko Calvo's revolution in every glass."
Honesty and Character
The **Bigardo Red Wine** is an artisan work that defies the conventions of the D.O. Toro. Created by the young and talented winemaker **Kiko Calvo**, this Tinta de Toro monovarietal seeks to move away from excessive oak to focus on the purity of the vineyard. With an intelligent aging process of 10 months in barrels of various sizes, it achieves a masterful balance between the historic power of the region and a surprising modern fluidity.

4. The Art of Serving
Gastronomic Harmony: The perfect ally for marinated dishes such as Cochinita Pibil or Tacos al Pastor. Its freshness perfectly cuts through the fat of picanha or gourmet burgers.
Ideal Moment: Relaxed barbecues or dinners where you are looking for a wine with its own personality that surprises with its balance.
Service: Recommended to serve between **14°C and 16°C**. This temperature highlights its fruitiness and makes it extremely dangerous (because of how easily it is drunk).
