Details
Victorino 2023
Made by Teso La Monja in DO Toro, the wine Victorino is a varietal Spanish red wine made from Tinta de Toro vines 45 to 100 years of age grown in clayey soils with a sandy substratum.
It is crafted by the prestigious Eguren family, who also owns the Sierra Cantabria, Señorío de San Vicente and Viñedos de Páganos wineries.
The grapes were picked by hand and meticulously selected. They were destemmed and gently crushed before fermenting with gentle pump-overs. Once fermentation was completed, this Crianza red wine was macerated for 17 days on lees.
After that, the red wine Victorino 2023 went through malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, where it was subsequently aged for 18 months. During the process, the wine was racked every 4 months.
Decant this red wine from Toro a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.
