Description

Today, in 2018, the 2555 bottles they have kept as a new edition called GRAN FAUSTINO 1955 see the light of day.

They are a true reflection of their speciality, making wines that are perfect for ageing, part of Faustino's secret. A "Grand Reserva" Rioja wine, like those of years gone by, those that are never repeated and which experts the world over talk about with admiration.

Made mostly from Tempranillo grapes blended with other varieties, following the traditions of the classic "Gran Reserva" wines from La Rioja, wines with unrepeatable personality.

Mostly aged in American oak barrels, although with a touch of French barrels, since in their historical archives there were French oak barrels at Bodegas Faustino at that time, a rather innovative event in Rioja
