The Character of an Extreme Terroir
This Crianza D.O. Toro Red Wine is born from an extreme continental climate and poor soils that force the vine to give its best. Made under the Valdefama brand by Bodegas y Pagos de Matarredonda, in Toro (Zamora), it captures the power of the denomination with winemaking that cares for finesse and elegance. Its tannins, polished by 12 months of aging in oak, offer an intense, round experience, with hints of ripe black fruit, spices and toast.
