Farina Soave Doc

Dating back to 1942, Bodegas Fariña is one of the oldest wineries in the region of TORO. Salvador Fariña founded the cellar in the deep, dark depths of an underground rudimentary cellar in the tiny village of Casaseca de las Chanas, 30km from Toro near Zamora on the banks of the River Duero. No-one was to know that these very humble beginnings were to be the start of one of Spain's leading wine estates. Manuel Fariña inherited the winery from his father, Salvador, in the late 1960's following his return from his winemaking studies. He had learnt enough to know that radical change in the region was needed if it was to make first class wines. His unwavering belief in the region's potential and its local grape "TINTA DE TORO" set him in good stead to set about making those wines.
