General Information
Fariña Lágrima 2023 is a young, modern-style red wine made from Tinta de Toro grapes selected from vineyards between 20 and 40 years old. Bodegas Fariña was founded in 1942 by Salvador Fariña, one of the driving forces behind the Denominación de Origen Toro and one of the most important figures in the region. His son Manuel continues his work and currently runs the Zamora winery. Thanks to the combination of the most innovative techniques and traditional local processes, the firm produces wines with a special character, marked by their fruity aromas, good structure and freshness. A new interpretation of Toro wines.
Fariña Lágrima 2023 is named after the process used to obtain the must. Lágrima wines are distinguished by the fact that they are not pressed; they are made using a gravity-fed process. This characteristic is reflected in their sensory qualities.
This red wine from the D.O. Toro is an excellent accompaniment to red meats, all kinds of tapas and cheeses.
Creators' opinion
Fariña Lágrima exhibits a clean, bright violet-red colour.
Pleasant aromas of liquorice, red and black fruits (strawberries, blackberries) and violets in the nose are nicely integrated with the complex notes from barrel ageing (vanilla, cocoa, toffee caramel).
Fruity, fresh and well balanced on the palate.
The winery
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.
