Faustino Tempranillo Rioja 2017

Garnet ruby in colour. Light blueberry/sour cherry fruit with a hint of young tobacco. The tannins are soft with a lift on the finish. Medium bodied and fresh, this young Rioja from 100% tempranillo can be enjoyed on its own and with chicken and pork especially if they are roasted, baked or stir-fried. Based in Oyon in the Rioja Alavesa, Faustino was founded in 1861 by Eleuterio Martinez Arzok. The detail on the label is Dutch merchant Nicolaes van Bambeeck from a painting by Rembrandt. This image – so very identified with Faustino – was chosen by the 3rd generation of the company because “the old merchants were the ones in charge of taking the wine throughout all the countries of the world”. The owning family are passionate about art. Check out the Faustino Art Collection at www.bodegasfaustino.com/faustino-art-collection/index-en.phpThe video on their website is very moving, particularly the poem that accompanies it. Check out it In the Name of Wine at www.bodegasfaustino.com/en/.
