Production Process
Trotamundos Pie Franco is an expressive red wine, powerful and mature, originating from Toro. Although it lacks the official stamp of the region, its soul whispers of ancient vines of the Tinta de Toro variety. Planted at the end of the 19th century, these phylloxera-resistant vines produce wine full of character.
