Bodegas Díscolo: The Wild Boys of Toro Wine
Bodegas Díscolo: The Rebels of Toro
Toro Just Got Loud
Toro has always been loud. Bold. Muscular. The kind of wine that wears leather and smokes cigars. But Bodegas Díscolo isn’t just turning up the volume — they’re breaking the sound system.
Born from the minds (and hands) of Esteban Sánchez Maíllo and Nicolás Sánchez Monge, Díscolo is what happens when you let winemakers off the leash. No suits, no spreadsheets, no PR-safe tasting notes. Just wine made with dirt under the fingernails and rock & roll in the bloodstream.
And no, “Díscolo” isn’t just a catchy name. It means troublemaker. Rebellious. Unruly. If Toro is a beast, Díscolo is the part that bites.
Meet the Madmen Behind the Madness
Esteban doesn’t just make wine. He climbs barrels like a monkey on a mission, pipette in hand, grinning like he just stole fire from the gods. A winemaker? Sure. But also part artist, part anarchist, part alchemist. He’s the kind of guy who talks about fermentation the way most people talk about religion — fervent, poetic, and a little bit dangerous.
Then there’s Nicolás, the chef with the Midas tongue. A culinary icon who brings the same unapologetic energy to wine that he does to food. Together, they’re not building a brand. They’re starting a movement — one glass at a time.
What’s in the Bottle?
You’re not getting some polished, overly extracted, oak-tanned nonsense. Díscolo wines are raw, wild, and alive. They come from old vines in Toro — we’re talking gnarly, veteran vines with roots deeper than your therapy sessions.
The wines are fermented with native yeasts, aged in concrete or old wood, and bottled with as little intervention as possible. No fancy tricks. Just grape, place, and soul.
Think inky Tinta de Toro that tastes like sun-baked stones, blackberry pulp, crushed herbs, and attitude. Wines that punch first, ask questions later.
This Is Not Wine Tourism
You don’t “visit” Díscolo. You show up. If you’re lucky, Esteban might pour you something straight from barrel while standing on top of it like a damn circus act. Maybe Nico cooks. Maybe you end up dancing in the cellar. No buses. No matching hats. No bullshit.
It’s not for everyone. But if you get it? You’re in.
Why We Carry Them
Because we believe in wine with a pulse. Because Esteban and Nicolás are exactly the kind of chaos we want in our glass. Because Toro deserves better than being typecast as just another region of brooding reds.
At InBodega, we don’t curate safe. We curate savage. And Bodegas Díscolo is savage done right.
