General Information
The wine Numanthia 2020 is a true gem of the Toro Denomination of Origin, crafted by the prestigious Bodega Numanthia, renowned for its commitment to excellence and the modernization of the wines from the region. This red wine embodies the strength and elegance of the tinta de Toro variety, an indigenous grape that is, in fact, a local adaptation of tempranillo, cultivated under extreme conditions that give it a unique personality.
The vineyards from which Numanthia originates stretch across the municipalities of Valdefinjas, Morales de Toro, Toro, and Venialbo, nestled in the heart of Zamora. These plots, facing south-southwest and situated at an average altitude of 700 meters, benefit from a continental climate with Atlantic influence, which promotes a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes.
The sandy-loam soils of the region, combined with the age of the vines—ranging from 50 to over 120 years—offer exceptional complexity and concentration to the wine. These dry-farmed, ungrafted vines are a living testament to a centuries-old winemaking tradition, resilient and deeply rooted in the land.
The winery practices organic and sustainable viticulture, respecting the natural environment and enhancing the most authentic expression of the terroir. The result is a red wine, organic and vegan, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, which provide structure and depth without losing freshness or elegance.
Bodega Numanthia was founded in 1998 in Valdefinjas, in the heart of the D.O. Toro. It belongs to the LVMH group and stands out for producing wines that reflect the authenticity of its ancient vineyards. Its philosophy is based on sustainability, craftsmanship, and respect for the terroir, resulting in wines of great concentration, elegance, and longevity, like Numanthia.
When it comes to pairing, Numanthia 2020 is ideal for accompanying roasted red meats, game, traditional stews, aged cheeses, and intense dishes. It also pairs well with beef tartare, grilled turbot, and dark chocolate desserts.
Creators' opinion
Ripe cherry color with ruby highlights. On the nose, intense aromas of black fruits, rosemary, pink pepper, and flint. On the palate, a gentle and broad entry, with mature and powerful tannins, black fruit, cassis, macadamia nuts, and hazelnut. Long, noble, and persistent finish.
