Region Information > Toro The wine region is situated in the province of Zamora and Valladolid (Region of Castilla y León) and covers an area of 5,600 hectares. The Toro wine region consists of 40 vineyards (Bodegas), which produce 60,000 hl of wine annually. The area of this Designation is characterised by an extreme dry continental climate influenced by the Atlantic. ANNUAL RAINFALL: 350-400 mm. ANNUAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE:12-13°C (-11 to 37 °C) HOURS OF SUNSHINE: 2,600 (up to 3,000) SOLAR THERMAL INDEX: 4.23 VINE GROWING CYCLE: 230 days (approx.) All these climatic conditions, extreme cold in winter, many hours of sunshine, etc. give the grapes exceptional quality, which is essential for making good wines. The soil is made up of sand sediment, clay and calcareous conglomerates from the Pliocene, which cause brown limestone topsoils on loose material. The materials alternate from loamy materials to large and fine grain sand, with limestone and detrytic marl formed during the Miocene. The height above sea level of the vineyards stands between 620 m and 750 m, and the soils belong to the Tertiary Era.
