Toro

Toro is probably the Spanish appellation that has transformed most in the last 20 years. Until the 1990s it was a rustic, high-alcohol bulk-wine region — and in a decade it became serious investment territory (Vega Sicilia arrived in 1997 with Pintia, Numanthia followed). The star is Tinta de Toro, a local variant of Tempranillo adapted to stony soils and brutal summers: wines with structure, firm tannins, intense color. Old vines (some pre-phylloxera centenarians on their own roots, thanks to sandy soils that the phylloxera couldn't penetrate) are the region's most valuable asset.
