Tinta de Toro is a red grape variety primarily grown in the Toro region of Spain. It is a clone of the more widely known Tempranillo grape and is celebrated for its deep color, robust flavor, and high tannin content. The grape thrives in the region's hot, dry climate, which contributes to its rich, concentrated wines. Wines made from Tinta de Toro are often full-bodied and exhibit dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry and plum, along with earthy and spicy notes. These wines are typically aged in oak barrels, enhancing their complexity and making them suitable for long-term aging.
