Dark cherry and plum fruit glide through Faustino I Gran Reserva 2016, laced with gentle tobacco, vanilla and savory spice, giving a sense of classic Rioja comfort with real finesse. Medium in body but long in flavor, it stays bright and juicy while the fine tannins carry hints of leather and herbs into a poised, graceful finish.

Faustino I Gran Reserva is the flagship traditional Rioja red from Bodegas Faustino in Rioja Alavesa, typically a Tempranillo‑led blend with Graciano and Mazuelo from high‑altitude, clay‑limestone vineyards. Aged extensively in a mix of American and French oak followed by long bottle ageing, it is known for its mature yet vibrant profile, showing dark berry fruit layered with tobacco, cedar, spice and leather, and for being one of the most recognized and widely exported Gran Reserva Riojas in the world.
