Description
Bodegas Frontonio
Frontonio is located in the village of Épila, in the IGP Valdejalón in Aragón.

In 2019 they are going to launch two new wines from an exceptional vineyard, El Jardín de las Iguales, a valley where they are really investing and planting some more, even recovering old terraces and rebuilding the ancient dry stone walls.

Tasting Notes
The 2016 Botijo Rojo Garnacha fermented in stainless steel and matured in concrete for one year. It feels very harmonious, balanced, and complete, approachable, and easy to understand but with complexity and depth. This is a delicious, juicy, floral Garnacha. There were 60,000 bottles produced and was bottled in June 2018.
