Tasting Notes

Intense purple color with violet rims. The nose shows fresh red fruits —cherry, raspberry— combined with delicate floral notes and hints of licorice and toasted bread. On the palate, it offers a juicy texture, soft tannins, and a balanced, persistent finish, marked by ripe fruit and vibrant freshness.

Food Pairing

Perfectly accompanies grilled red meats, roasted lamb, cured meats, and medium-intensity cheeses. It also shines with traditional stews and lentils.

Románico combines the intensity of Toro with a youthful and frank character, like a song to the balance between fruit and wood. Its juicy rhythm evokes harvest afternoons and memorable encounters.
