WINE MAKING PROCESS
Frontonio Telescópico 2021 is produced using grapes from old vines, with a significant portion of whole clusters (around 80%) included in the spontaneous fermentation process. This fermentation occurs in open concrete vats with indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 13 months in large oval foudres (2500L) and 500L barrels. The winemaking approach is characterized by minimal intervention, with a focus on plot-by-plot vinification.
