Frontonio 2020 Telescopico Garnacha (Valdejalon)
Equally pure, but a step up in richness, sweetness, and high-toned expression of the grape, this is balanced, focused and long. It exemplifies the “cool” aspect that separates Frontonio from other practitioners of the art of producing well-balanced wines in warm climates. Strawberries galore sprinkled with black pepper.
