✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bodegas Faustino, founded in 1861 by Eleuterio Martínez Arzok in the Rioja Alavesa town of Oyón, is one of the most recognizable names in Spanish winemaking, famous worldwide for its iconic art-labeled bottles. The Faustino Crianza represents a classic, approachable expression of Rioja's signature style. Crafted predominantly from Tempranillo grapes grown in clay-limestone soils, this wine benefits from a microclimate where Atlantic and Mediterranean influences meet. In accordance with Rioja's strict aging laws, the wine undergoes a minimum of 12 months in American oak barrels. This traditional aging regimen softens the grape's natural tannins and infuses the bright red cherry and forest fruit flavors with warm undertones of vanilla, cocoa, and sweet spices, creating a harmonious and vibrant red wine.
