MADE WITH
TINTA DE TORO
Its ampelographic characteristics are very similar to those of the Tempranillo or Tinto Fino, but since it has been located in the area for several centuries, it has a name and personality of its own, making it different from its peers. They must contain at least 75% grapes of this variety.
MADE WITH
GARNACHA TINTA
Made with the Garnacha Tinta variety, known as the Tinto Aragonés or Tinto Navarro, a grape that has been in the area for centuries and accompanied the people who repopulated Toro from Aragón in the late 15th century after the War of the Castilian Succession. These wines must contain at least 85% grapes of this variety.
