Vignerons G.SICA: La Négrette, the Soul of Fronton at the Gates of Toulouse

La Négrette: a rare grape variety cultivated for over 2,000 years. North of Toulouse, between the banks of the Tarn and the Garonne, lies one of the most distinctive terroirs of Southwest France: Fronton. Located in a region shaped by history, aeronautical innovation and a relaxed southern lifestyle, this appellation is home to a treasure found nowhere else on Earth: La Négrette.

Grown exclusively here, this grape variety embodies more than two millennia of winemaking tradition. Some say it travelled from Cyprus with knights or pilgrims; others believe it was born along the Tarn before spreading across the nearby hillsides. Whatever its origin, its style is unmistakable:

• intense aromas of black fruits,
• delicate violet notes,
• licorice and soft spice nuances,
• supple, elegant tannins.

A unique, instantly recognizable grape that makes Fronton an appellation apart.
