Bodega Covitoro 'El Bos' Roble

One of Spain’s most dynamic and underrated wine regions is Toro, just west of Rueda. Ancient Greeks began making wine in this area at the end of the 1st century. For years it was regarded simply as a source of easy-drinking reds, made from the local Tinta de Toro grape (Tempranillo). But an influx of sophisticated wine producers has changed all of this and the reputation is rising. This example is packed with a mix of fresh cherries, warm cherry pie and spiced black licorice.
