Description

Frontonio Microcosmico Garnacha is named after Saint Frontonio, the patron saint of Epila, a town in Valdejalon, North-East Spain, where it is produced. Legend has it that Saint Frontonio was beheaded by the Romans. His body was buried in a cemetery and his head was thrown into the River Ebro near Zaragoza. Miraculously, his head was later found going upstream along the banks of the River Jalon in Epila. Likewise, this limited production of micro wine is the result of rowing against the stream. It is also something of a miracle. It comes from a humble garage where it is made by Fernando Mora MW and Mario Lopez without any fuss.
