Tinta de Toro
It is considered that it was the Romans (210 B.C.) who were the true promoters of viticulture in the Duero basin, invading the territory previously inhabited by the Vacceos and completely destroying the city under the orders of the Carthaginian general Hannibal.
On January 11, 1505, the 83 laws were proclaimed in Toro, this being the seat of the Cortes; a city that centuries later would consolidate itself as a provincial capital. There are numerous documents over the years that regulate and recognize the cultivation of the vine and its economic importance in the city. The wine from Toro traveled to the New World baptizing its discovery, due to characteristics that allowed it to endure and be preserved on such long journeys.
After the phylloxera invasion in Spain in 1870, the cultivation of the vine underwent a great reconversion, and it was in Toro where the Tinta de Toro variety anchored its roots in loose sandy and well-drained soils, with the multiplication of vineyards on their own roots still preserved to this day. In this period, Toro has its own oenological station located in the city providing technical services to the viticultural demands of the time. On May 26, 1933, Toro was granted the Designation of Origin for the first time. (Gazette publication June 4, 1933)
In 1990, the Castilla y León Regional Government embarked on a plan for clonal and sanitary selection of the vine, rescuing and multiplying the native varieties of the Community, among them the Tinta de Toro, which currently enjoys certification as a native variety, with its own name, with well-defined agronomic and ampelographic characteristics. Its trade is issued with a blue label and its corresponding clone number.
Its ampelographic characteristics closely resemble the Tempranillo or Tinto Fino, but having been established in the area for several centuries, it is identified with a name and personality of its own, different from its peers. Wines must contain at least 75% of grapes from this variety.
Date of creation: 1987
The D.O. was officially founded in 1987 by six protected wineries, today there are more than 60 and the wines are sold in practically all parts of the world, with a special presence in the domestic market. Toro is one of the Spanish Designations of Origin with the most old vineyards, highlighting the pre-phylloxera vines in goblet form and the flagship variety, Tinta de Toro, with a high color intensity and great aging potential.
The predominant and native variety in the area is Tinta de Toro, although the Garnacha grape is also authorized for red varieties. In terms of white varieties, it is possible to produce wines with Malvasía and Verdejo grapes.
