✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic Bodegas Faustino in Rioja Alavesa, a winery founded in 1861 and famous for its iconic labels featuring classic portraits, Faustino VII Tinto serves as a vibrant, youthful introduction to the estate's legendary winemaking heritage. This red blend is dominated by Tempranillo, the signature grape of the region, and undergoes a brief maturation of around six months in American oak barrels. This light touch of oak imparts subtle hints of vanilla and sweet spice while allowing the bright, energetic red fruit characteristics of cherry and raspberry to remain at the forefront. It beautifully captures the fresher, fruit-forward side of Rioja's unique terroir, where Atlantic and Mediterranean climatic influences meet.
🍾 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.
