San Román
Información sobre este vino:
San Román is a red wine from Bodegas y Viñedos San Román, in the D.O. Toro, which embodies with rare elegance the telluric force of this Castilian land. Born from the pulse of tinta de toro and, depending on the vintage, accompanied by a small portion of garnacha, this wine possesses that stature of reds that are not limited to pleasing: they impose themselves with the gravity of an ancient landscape and the precision of a well-tuned work.
Its profile usually moves between depth and finesse, with a maturity that never falls into heaviness. San Román Bodegas y Viñedos signs here a wine of noble crianza, with a serious soul, where the wood acts as a frame and not as a mask. It is a red of character, with a dark and silky voice, with the noble roughness of wines that have been educated by time without losing nerve or verticality.
Overall, San Román is a red wine of great expressive density, with polished architecture and a complexity that seems to unfold like velvet over hot stone. It has that air of reserved grandeur, of a wine that speaks softly but leaves a long, almost aristocratic, imprint on the memory.
It comes from old vineyards located in different municipalities of the D.O. Toro, mainly San Román de Hornija, Villaester and Morales de Toro. The winery works with plots of poor, stony soil with a clay-limestone component, where the vine is forced to express itself with less abundance and more truth. That dry and austere landscape translates into a concentrated raw material, with low production and great personality. The result is a wine that seems to be born from the earth itself: sober, sturdy and, at the same time, surprisingly fine.
