Toro wines are usually powerful. The Tinta de Toro is the grape used here, which is similar to Tempranillo used in Rioja or Tinta del país used in Ribera del Duero. In this region (which gives name to the appellation Toro) the wines acquire a distinctive flavor and color. This medieval city is very representative of the history of Castilla león as Toro was the province’s capital Turing the middle ages. Lots of monuments remind the visitor of its past splendor.
