A 91-point varietal of Rioja’s signature grape from winemaking legend Michel Rolland

Campo Allegre
Toro
Varietal: 100% Toro (Tempranillo)
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol By Volume: 15%

Winemakers: Michel Rolland and Francois Lurton

When we learned Michel Rolland, the most prolific mind in winemaking today, had partnered with fellow Bordeaux luminary Francois Lurton for a series of Spanish wines, we immediately acquired a reserve for our members. Our first of these wines, Campo Alegre Toro, is a powerful yet easy-drinking varietal made from Tempranillo, the primary grape of Spain’s famous Riojas.
Crafted by two of the most decorated winemakers in history, Campo Alegre was awarded 91 points by Wine Enthusiast in 2016. Named after the fast-paced tempo of Spanish flamenco music, Alegre is a light and agile red sure to enliven any occasion.
