Faustino Art Collection Rosé

Faustino Art Collection Rosé

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. 

Wine Production

The must is exxtracted by gravity, and it is taken to a deposit for 36 hours. When it is removed, the leftovers remain at the bottom and the clean must is transferred to a new tank. Several rackings are made at low temperature (between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius), in a delicate way, leaving the fine lees to obtain stability in color and aromas. Working with the lees adds complexity and good structure to the wine.

Tasting Notes

Red fruits and floral aromas. Raspberry, strawberry and lilac flavors. Fresh, fruity finish.

Food Pairing

Perfect with appetizers and light fare.
