Matsu El Recio is a refined and powerful wine from the DO Toro, produced by Bodega Matsu. This wine is made from 100% Tinta de Toro, a local variant of Tempranillo, from 90-year-old vines farmed in a natural and sustainable way. The wine has been aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, giving an excellent balance between fruit intensity and oak. In the glass the wine shows a deep cherry red colour with purple reflections. The nose is seductive and complex, with aromas of ripe black fruit such as plums and blackberries, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and a subtle hint of balsamic. On the palate the wine is full and rich, with velvety tannins and a fine balance between power and elegance. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering nuances of spice and toasty notes. This wine is a perfect companion to grilled red meat, slow-cooked stews or ripe cheeses. It is also an excellent choice to enjoy on its own, as a reflection of the depth and authenticity of Toro wines.
