Description
Produced exclusively at the very best harvests, Gran Faustino I is a very limited selection of the most outstanding grapes chosen to become Gran Reserva. After 38 months ageing in the barrel (12 additional versus the Iconic Faustino I Gran Reserva), this wine has been patiently resting at the cellar for more than 10 years getting polished and perfected. In 2004, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Faustino I first release, Bodegas Faustino decided to pay homage to the essence of the winery – the vineyard, the long barrel and bottle ageing.
