The D.O. Toro, created in 1987, encompasses twelve municipalities in Zamora and three in Valladolid, corresponding to the Bajo Duero region. The river crosses the region from east to west, and the D.O. is located in the south. The D.O. Toro is famous for the production of red wines made from the local Tinta de Toro grape, although it also includes the production of rosé and white wines (in smaller quantities).
The red wines, traditionally known for their power, have undergone a remarkable modernization in recent years and now also stand out for their elegance and complexity, especially in the case of medium and long-aged wines.
