Story behind the dish

Tinto de Verano was born in Cordoba in the 1960s as an accessible mixture of red wine and soda to combat the heat. It became popular at fairs and festivals throughout Andalusia as a light alternative to sangria. Today it has a non-alcoholic version that is equally refreshing for everyone.
