Product Description
Details
Produced by Bodega Frontio, the wine project of Dane Thyge Benned Jensen, Follaco showcases the amazingly rich wine heritage of DO Arribes, an up-and-coming Spanish wine region located in the southern part of the Zamora province, right on the border with Portugal.
Made from 65% Tempranillo, this Spanish red wine is complemented with 25% Juan García, the main native variety of the region, and 10% Rufete and Bruñal, also local varieties. The vines, 15 to 100 years old, are planted in granite and quartz soils.
Hand-harvested and selected on site and in the premises, the four varieties were macerated together for 3 weeks before being fermented with native yeasts. Then this red wine from Arribes went through a spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
Finally, Follaco 2021 was aged for 9 months in used French oak barrels, 7 to 12 years old. This is a low-sulphites red wine, incidentally.
Limited production.

best deal ever
One of the best values, if not THE best, on this website. Yummy and lively, easy to drink, but not lacking in substance.
