Faustino I

Faustino I Gran Reserva 2016 is a wine that has carved out its own identity, becoming a global icon and the monumental legacy of Don Julio F. Martínez. This exceptional red wine showcases the finest Tempranillo grapes, which undergo an aging process of over 24 months in oak barrels, followed by an extended period in the bottle, resulting in a benchmark expression from La Rioja.

Visually, this wine is clean and bright, presenting a deep ruby color that evolves into garnet. On the nose, it reveals a complex and elegant bouquet, offering a rich expression of fruit complemented by intriguing spicy notes. The palate is equally sophisticated, showcasing refined sensations derived from its time in oak. It culminates in a long and silky finish that invites further exploration.

Faustino I Gran Reserva is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairing. It harmonizes beautifully with all types of meat, grilled mushrooms, and even robust fish like tuna or cod. It pairs wonderfully with cheeses such as Emmental or Gruyere, and is an excellent accompaniment to mushroom risotto.

Elevate your dining experience with this remarkable Gran Reserva, a true testament to the winemaking excellence of Bodegas Faustino. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a quiet evening, this wine promises to impress with its depth and character.
