TESO LA MONJA | ROMANICO 2020

Product Sheet – Románico 2020

Románico 2020 is a young red wine produced by the Eguren family at Teso La Monja, D.O. Toro (Castilla y León). It is made from 100% Tinta de Toro from young vineyards (12–35 years old) planted in Valdefinjas and Toro, on sandy soils with some clay and pebbles.

Harvest is manual; after gentle maceration with traditional foot-treading and natural fermentation in steel tanks, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages 6–8 months in used French oak barrels, preserving its varietal freshness.
