Faustino Art Collection Garnacha

Faustino Art Collection Garnacha

Faustino Art Collection emerges from the personality of Faustino’s Brand: it’s internationality, diversity and the links of Familia Martínez Zabala with the arts. The iconic Faustino label, painted in 1641 by Rembrandt, is reimagined by celebrated modern artist Willy Ramos, offering a new dimension to the most iconic brand of Rioja.
