Historically, Toro was part of the ancient kingdom of León, but now belongs to the region of Castilla-León, so several Madrid-based wine writers are using poetic licence in calling the area 'the Priorato of Castille'.
The soils around Toro are well-drained and often sandy, an environment not hospitable to the phylloxera bug - as a result, most vines are not grafted on to American rootstocks.
In recent years, the long-time Toro producer Manuel Fariña, whose Bodegas Fariña is still the major bodega exporting from the region, tamed alcohol levels and began to win international recognition for the concentration of fruit, balance, and price-to-quality of his red wines.
