✨ Technical Specifications
Bodegas Faustino, established in 1861 in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, is globally recognized for its deep-rooted winemaking heritage and iconic art-labeled bottles. The 'Serie Magna' Crianza represents a contemporary homage to this legacy, blending the estate's traditional mastery with a focus on vibrant, fruit-forward expression. Crafted primarily from Tempranillo grown in the clay-limestone soils of Rioja, this wine undergoes the classic Crianza aging process, spending at least 12 months in oak barrels to develop its signature notes of ripe red berries, sweet spices, and subtle vanilla. The story of Faustino is one of family dedication, spanning over 150 years, transforming a small family winery into a symbol of Rioja's enduring global appeal.
