DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Bodegas Faustino has been making wine in Rioja for more than 160 years and is one of the region's leading exporters of aged reds. Faustino V is its Reserva.
The wine is made from Tempranillo with a little Mazuelo and spends at least 18 months in American oak barrels, as the Reserva rules require long ageing before release. American oak gives Rioja its classic sweet vanilla and spice tones.
It is a clean, bright cherry red that turns toward maroon. The nose is intense, with well-knit aromas of sweet oak and red fruit, and with some air you may find leather and earthy notes. The palate is elegant and balanced, with a medium to long finish. A classic, easygoing Rioja.
Serve it at 60 to 64°F in a standard red wine glass. Faustino suggests it with almost any meat, cured ham, mushrooms, grilled potatoes, tuna or cod, rice and pasta dishes and medium-aged cheese like Manchego. Lamb chops off the grill are a safe bet.
Bottle size: 750ml
