Botijo Rojo 2024 embodies the most honest expression of old Garnacha in Valdejalón. Organically farmed vines aged between 20 and 50 years give rise to a fresh, fruity, and intense red wine, with soft tannins and a distinctive minerality, perfect for everyday enjoyment. 

Botijo Rojo 2024 is born in the Valdejalón region, Aragón, from dry-farmed, organically cultivated vineyards at an altitude of approximately 450 m. The vines, aged between 20 and 50 years, thrive 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 contribute roundness and character while preserving freshness and purity. 

Founded in 2012, Bodegas Frontonio was established to revive 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 2024 pairs well with Iberian cured meats, meat stews, roasted vegetables, rice dishes, and mountain-style pasta. Its freshness and soft tannins make it highly versatile at the table.
