Producer Information

Frontonio is the passion project of three friends; Fernando Mora MW, oenologist Mario Lpez and international business lawyer Francisco Latasa from Zaragoza. The winery is named after Saint Frontonio, the Patron Saint of the village. According to legend, Frontonio was beheaded by the Romans, his head found upstream after it had been thrown into the Ebro. Going against the current is at the heart of this project, hence the name Frontonio.Lacking a DO status, Valdejaln is arguably the least well-known wine region in Aragn. Located at the centre of a triangle formed by Campo de Borja, Cariena and Calatayud appellations, it comprises the area around the river Jaln. The wines are sold under the `vino de la tierra` designation, the equivalent to the new European PGI.
