The Faustino I Gran Reserva 2016 with 14% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle is one of the best-known and most prestigious Rioja Gran Reservas in Spain and comes from the traditional Bodegas Faustino estate in La Rioja. This long-matured wine made predominantly from Tempranillo, complemented by classic Rioja varieties such as Graciano and Mazuelo, reflects the elegance, depth and aromatic complexity for which the winery is internationally recognised.

The wine matured for many years in American and French oak barrels before being further refined in the bottle. The result is a Gran Reserva full of character with a fine balance between secondary and tertiary flavours, a fine woody character and a structured, mature body. The combination of Langs barrel ageing, precise vinification and careful selection gives the Faustino I Gran Reserva 2016 its unmistakable style. It is an expression of classic Rioja craftsmanship, powerful yet elegant, with great development potential and a long-lasting, harmonious profile.
