When Miguel Torres Carbó, the third generation at the helm of Bodegas Torres, decided to create a distinctive wine to market globally, he did not hesitate: he climbed into his Renault 4 and tirelessly traversed the vineyards in search of the finest red grapes of the region: garnacha and cariñena. Thus began the story of Sangre de Toro, a red wine from the D.O. Catalunya, born in 1954 with the aim of expressing the true character of the land.
A wine that is not only a tribute to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, known as "The Son of the Bull," but also a reflection of the passion, tradition, and effort that the Torres family has invested in every bottle, generation after generation. Sangre de Toro is regarded as a global benchmark of quality Spanish wine, and it remains a wine rich in history, now with a touch of modernity that gives it a "second youth."
Crafted by Bodegas Torres, arguably the most internationally recognized Spanish winery, Sangre de Toro is a blend of garnacha and cariñena, with selected grapes, destemmed and fermented at controlled temperatures. It is then macerated for two weeks and aged for six months in French and American oak barrels, achieving a smooth, balanced wine full of character.
Today, Sangre de Toro is a true ambassador of the Spanish Way of Wine, reaching over 100 countries worldwide. So much so that it is an Official Partner of the Spanish National Football Team, with whom it shares colour, origin, and values. A dream of Miguel Torres brought to fruition.
