✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic cellars of the Rivero family, who began their winemaking journey in Rioja in 1899, the Faustino Rivero Ulecia Chitón Reserva is a tribute to over a century of family heritage. This traditional red blend is dominated by Tempranillo, sourced from vineyards that benefit from the warm, Mediterranean-influenced climate of Rioja Oriental. To earn its Reserva status, the wine undergoes a patient aging process of at least three years, including a minimum of 12 months in oak barrels followed by extensive bottle aging. This traditional method tempers the vibrant dark fruit flavors of plum and wild berry with sophisticated layers of vanilla, leather, and sweet spices, resulting in a classic Rioja profile with silky tannins and a lingering, elegant finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bodegas Faustino blev grundlagt i 1861 af Eleuterio Martínez Arzok og er en ikonisk, familieejet vingård beliggende i Oyón i hjertet af Spaniens prestigefyldte Rioja Alavesa-region. Vingården ledes i dag af fjerde generation af Martínez Zabala-familien og råder over mere end 650 hektar førsteklasses vinmarker i Rioja, hvor traditionel vindyrkning går hånd i hånd med omhyggelig fadlagring. Huset er verdenskendt for sine karakteristiske flasker i matteret glas og de historiske etiketter med Rembrandt-portrætter. De hyldes for deres klassiske og elegante vine – frem for alt flagskibet Faustino I Gran Reserva, flankeret af anmelderroste Reserva-vine, udtryksfulde Crianzaer og forfriskende Cava fremstillet efter den traditionelle metode.
