Rioja DOCa Crianza Faustino 2022 Bodegas Faustino

Faustino Crianza is a red wine from Rioja made with Tempranillo grapes and represents one of the most versatile and harmonious labels of the winery's range. It is designed to accompany the small moments of daily pleasure, combining the fruit's freshness with the refined imprint of the wood. Its production reflects Bodegas Faustino's expertise in the art of winemaking and barrel management.

The wine ages for at least 12 months in American oak barrels, a process that allows for the harmonization of fruit, spice, and toasted notes. The vinification aims to preserve the purity of the fruit and build a round and accessible taste profile, suitable for various consumption occasions.

It presents an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is clean and fragrant, with notes of fresh red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry, complemented by hints of black fruits like blueberry and blackcurrant. The wood adds elegant nuances of vanilla, toffee, and cocoa. On the palate, it is juicy and lively, with smooth tannins and good acidity that supports the long, fresh, and well-balanced finish.

Perfect with tapas, cured meats, grilled vegetables, mushrooms, lasagna, and roasted or stewed meats, as well as baked desserts like chocolate brownies.
