Tasting notes Frontio Follaco 2024

Red wine Aged in wood Natural and Organic. 10 meses en barricas de roble.

Frontio Follaco 2024 is a red wine that captivates from the first glance: with the character of the Juan García grape, it unfurls notes of flint and a subtle smokiness that intertwine with red fruits and wild herbs, akin to a stroll through the vineyard's wilder side. On the palate, it is juicy, slightly fleshy, with fine tannins and a medium body, balancing freshness and depth with astonishing ease. Its gentle structure makes it very approachable, yet no less memorable: a small discovery that clearly demonstrates that sometimes great pleasures come in a discreet and compelling form.

About Frontio Follaco

Just like wine, localisms are deeply rooted in their place of origin, reflecting the unique characteristics of their environment. These words, expressions, or linguistic turns specific to a region or locality capture the cultural, social, and linguistic essence of a community. Thus, they can vary considerably from one place to another, even within the same country. With this same philosophy of celebrating and showcasing local identity, the Danish winemaker Thyge Benned Jensen, affectionately known as Chus, arrived in Fermoselle, in the province of Zamora (Castilla y León) in 2016 to embark on his winemaking project Frontio.

The result of this endeavour is embodied in his introductory wine, Frontio Follaco, whose localism (Follaco), with Latin roots, is the colloquial demonym for the people of Fermoselle. This name perfectly encapsulates his philosophy of minimal intervention and maximum expression in wine production. Integrated into the DO Arribes, it is predominantly a blend of tempranillo, complemented by small proportions of native varieties such as juan garcía, rufete, and bruñal. The vines, planted in granitic soils, are cultivated organically, without chemical products that might alter their purity. The grapes, harvested by hand, are fermented in the winery with whole clusters and native yeasts. Finally, the wine matures for several months in used oak barrels, without additions and with minimal sulphites, to preserve its authenticity.

The result is a wine that not only captures the essence of the land of Fermoselle but also tells a story of respect for nature and tradition. Frontio Follaco is a tribute to authenticity, where each sip invites one to discover the richness of its terroir and the passion of its creator. A wine that, like the finest localisms, is unique, full of character, and a true reflection of its origin.
