✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Bodegas Faustino in Rioja Alavesa, an estate with over 150 years of winemaking heritage, the Faustino VII Rosado is a classic representation of Spanish rosé. Adorned with the iconic Rembrandt portrait that defines the Faustino brand, this wine is typically crafted from Tempranillo. The grapes undergo a brief cold maceration to extract a brilliant, pale pink hue and delicate aromas of red currants and raspberries. Grown in clay-limestone soils under a climate influenced by both the Atlantic and Mediterranean, it captures the fresh, vibrant, and fruit-forward side of Rioja's terroir without oak aging.
