The fruity hints of the bouquet are joined by notes from barrel aging, such as additional fruity-balsamic nuances.

On the palate, the Faustino I Gran Reserva 1.5 l Magnum from Bodegas Faustino opens wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. On the tongue, this well-balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. The finish of this highly age-worthy red wine from the La Rioja wine-growing region, more precisely from Rioja DOCa, ultimately impresses with an exceptional aftertaste.

Vinification of Bodegas Faustino Faustino I Gran Reserva 1.5 l Magnum

The balanced Faustino I Gran Reserva 1.5 l Magnum from Spain is a cuvée made from the grape varieties Tempranillo, Cariñena and Graciano. The Faustino I Gran Reserva 1.5 l Magnum is an Old World wine through and through, as this Spaniard exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. A very strong influence on the ripening of the harvested grapes is also exerted by the fact that the Tempranillo, Cariñena and Graciano grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate. This is expressed, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a comparatively high alcohol content in the wine. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Faustino I Gran Reserva 1.5 l Magnum is aged for several months in French oak barrels.
