2020 Toro Loco Superior

2020 Toro Loco Superior is a fresh, juicy, and vibrant red blend crafted in Spain’s DO Utiel-Requena region. Ruby-colored in the glass, this dry wine offers aromas and tasting notes of red fruits, like strawberry and cherry, accented with hints of herbs and minerality. Soft tannins lend an elegant finish. DO Utiel-Requena is located near Valencia in the east part of Spain, where grapes are nurtured by mild winters, hot summer days, cool nights, and a fresh sea breeze known as ”Solano.” Toro Loco expresses the quality and geographic uniqueness of this region, and its wines are made exclusively from grapes grown by a local co-op of 3,000 families. The name Toro Loco refers to the region’s Bobal grape, which translates to “bull head” in Old Spanish. “Loco” references the Bordeaux winemaker who came to Spain and helped create the community tradition. Produced by Benoit Valérie Calvet, this line of wines demonstrates how heritage and tradition can be kept alive without compromising modernity in creating beautiful wine. Pair a bottle of Toro Loco Superior with anything from traditional Spanish tapas or burritos to spaghetti with meatballs or braised meats. Blend of: Tempranillo and Bobal.
