✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bodegas Faustino, located in the Rioja Alavesa region of Spain, is an iconic estate with a winemaking heritage dating back to 1861. This assortment case showcases the traditional mastery of Faustino's red Rioja portfolio, famously represented by the flagship Faustino I Gran Reserva with its distinctive frosted bottle and Rembrandt portrait label. Crafted primarily from Tempranillo, alongside traditional blending partners like Graciano and Mazuelo, these wines reflect the unique clay-limestone soils and microclimate of Alavesa. The estate is celebrated for its commitment to extensive oak aging, utilizing both American and French barrels to develop the complex, silky, and savory character—marked by notes of dried cherry, leather, vanilla, and sweet spice—that defines classic Rioja.
