General Information
Botijo Rojo 2023 is born in the Valdejalón region, Aragón, from dry-farmed vineyards cultivated organically at an altitude of approximately 450 m. The vines, aged between 20 and 50 years, grow on clay-limestone soils with pebbles that retain rainwater and provide minerality. The climate is continental with Mediterranean influence, characterized by the cierzo wind and significant sun exposure, resulting in low-yield vines with fruits offering great concentration and varietal expression.
After manual harvesting, Botijo Rojo ferments with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and cement tanks, where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine rests for nine months in underground concrete tanks, where its lees provide roundness and character without losing freshness or purity.
Founded in 2012, Bodegas Frontonio was created to recover the potential of old garnacha vineyards in the Ebro Valley. Music, history, and rural tradition are the essence of a project that respects the landscape, cares for nature, and embraces minimal intervention. Botijo Rojo embodies this commitment to authenticity.
Botijo Rojo 2023 pairs well with Iberian cured meats, meat stews, roasted vegetables, mountain-style rice dishes, and pasta. Its freshness and soft tannins make it very versatile at the table.
Creators' opinion
Botijo Rojo is a bright ruby red wine. Aromas of wild strawberries, cherries, and Mediterranean floral notes, with a herbal background of oregano. On the palate, it is fresh and fruity, with balanced acidity, fine tannins, persistent minerality, and a clean finish.
