General Information
Campus Gothorum 2019 belongs to the high-end range of Bodegas Fariña. Its aromatic complexity and its meatiness and structure on the palate have made this wine one of the best representatives of the D.O. Toro, showcasing the full potential of the native variety tinta de Toro. The selection of woods plays a fundamental role, as the wine is aged for 15 months in French and American oak barrels with low and medium toasts of first and second use.
The aromatic contribution is surprising, respecting the primary aromas of black fruits and adding a surprising bouquet with mineral and roasted notes, cocoa, coffee, juanola, spices... On the palate, it is structured and full-bodied, a worthy Toro wine.
Founded in 1942 and now in its third generation, Bodegas Fariña is an essential firm in the creation and consecration of the D.O. Toro. Its history has always been linked to the constant change and development of this production area. Manuel Fariña, second generation, was a pioneer in applying winemaking techniques used in the world's most important wine regions, such as fermentation in stainless steel tanks, temperature control during fermentation, or selecting the most suitable barrels for aging. Changes that have made the D.O. Toro a leading area on the national scene.
Campus Gothorum 2019 pairs perfectly with dishes with intense flavors, such as pepper steak, stews, tripe, and aged cheeses.
Tasting notes
Deep black color with a dense layer.
With great complexity and aromatic richness on the nose, highlighting aromas of black fruit (blackberry, plum), along with mineral and roasted notes, as well as hints of cocoa, coffee, juanola, and spices.
On the palate, it is tasty, concentrated, with volume and meatiness, balanced and with fine and noble tannins. The passage is velvety and enjoys good, enveloping acidity. Long finish with perfectly integrated wood.
The winery
The D.O. Toro would not be the same without the work carried out over the years by its most emblematic winery: Bodegas Fariña, a family-owned winery, pioneering, innovative, and a benchmark in the region. It is the only winery that has been present since the origins of the designation and the firm responsible for the great leap in quality achieved by its wines.
Following in the footsteps of the founder, Salvador Fariña, who began his work in a rudimentary winery dug into the ground in Casaseca de las Chanas, Manuel Fariña López turned this winery into the spearhead of the Tinta de Toro variety. He was a pioneer in Toro in applying winemaking techniques used in the world's most important wine regions, such as fermentation in stainless steel tanks, temperature control during fermentation, and selecting the most suitable barrels for aging wines. A series of innovations that laid the foundations of what many call “the great miracle of Toro”; changes that made it possible to move away from the bold and somewhat heavy wines of a past era to create powerful and elegant wines that have made the D.O. Toro a leading region.
Bodegas Fariña has over 300 hectares of its own vineyards, a true guarantee when producing high-quality wines in the area. Today, Manuel (Manu) Fariña Pérez, son of Manuel and grandson of Salvador, stands as the third generation of winemakers at the winery.
