The Red Wine Los Bayones Finca La Manga is a prominent example of the wine richness of Castilla y León, specifically from the Denominación de Origen Toro in Zamora. This red wine, aged for 14 months in oak barrels, is a masterful creation of Bodegas Francisco Casas, S.A., under the expert direction of winemakers Eduardo Casas and Jesús García.
The Los Bayones Finca La Manga is made 100% with Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) grapes, a variety that brings depth and character to the wine. The vineyards are located in sandy-loamy soils with a sandy layer in depth, and gentle undulations around the Duero valley, at an altitude of approximately 700 meters. These geographical characteristics provide optimal conditions for the cultivation of Tinta de Toro.
The continental climate with Atlantic influences of the region, characterized by cold winters and hot summers with many hours of sunlight, along with significant thermal fluctuations between day and night during the ripening stage, allows for high-quality grapes. Annual precipitation is close to 400 mm, which also contributes to the water balance of the vines.
The production process of Red Wine Los Bayones Finca La Manga begins with the manual harvesting of grapes in vineyards between 15 and 40 years old planted in a goblet shape. After a careful selection, the grapes undergo controlled fermentation and then the wine is aged for 14 months in oak barrels, which gives it complexity and structure. Before being marketed, the wine is refined in the bottle, ensuring its perfect maturation and balance.
The result is an elegant and well-structured red wine, with notes of ripe fruit, spices, and a subtle touch of oak. Los Bayones Finca La Manga is ideal for pairing with red meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses, offering a rich and memorable wine experience. This wine reflects the dedication and commitment to excellence of Bodegas Francisco Casas, S.A., providing an unparalleled delight for the senses.
