Our author wine is meant to express emotions that make us immerse in the world of wine. Born and raised in Toro, we always look for authentic wines that embody our land, culture, family and work. With CARODORUM AUTOR we want to combine all these characteristics.

TASTING NOTES:
Born full-bodied and it gains strength during fifteen months in a French oak barrel. This dark wine flows red after such a long time in the barrel. Generous with intense and aphrodisiac aromas of ripe fruit and tobacco. In the palate it opens paths to dreams and quiet evenings among rockroses and mountain herbs.
