Faustino Crianza

Faustino Crianza

Bodegas Faustino, one of the ‘First Families of Rioja’, was founded in 1861 by the Martinez family and is actively managed today by the 6th generation Martinez daughters. Faustino received its recognition from the first export of Faustino Reserva wines in the 1960s. Today, the iconic bottle featuring Rembrandt's art has become the symbol of the excellence of Rioja wines, and Faustino wines are now enjoyed in more than 140 countries.

Tasting Notes

Ripe, fresh fruit and spice aromas. Sweet oak notes, light spicy hints and rich red and black fruits. Bright, fruity finish.

Food Pairing

Juicy burgers, pizza or any type of tapas.
