Frontonio 2023 "La Cerqueta" Grenache
We were accorded 24 of the 1160 bottles of this beauty, which derives from especially old vines and was aged for 11 months in Allier barriques. You could do worse than offer your customers a horizontal tasting of these five exceptional Garnacha wines. The experience of ascending the staircase of Frontonio's Garnachas is akin to that of Claus Schneider's Spatburgunders, in that the wines do not necessarily become richer and more powerful. Rather they attain increasing finesse, nuance and length.
