Bodegas Faustino offers us another refined, elegant and delicate red wine of the prestigious denomination La Rioja, Spain. This wine is made from grapes Tempranillo, a typical Iberian vine, which are characterized by the black purplish color and thick skin. The Faustino V, also contains a small percentage of grapes Marzuelo, also Spanish, with an intense purple color. This wine perfectly captures the authentic flavor of the two varieties, and can be perfectly matched to many types of dishes.
The 2013 vintage was characterized by a very rainy and cold spring, which caused the grapes to ripen unevenly and with some delay. Thanks to the rather dry months of September and October, some fruits were able to ripen in time to be harvested and carefully selected. Although the vintage is certainly not simple, the results were good. The bunches, in fact, presented a good balance between concentration and acidity.
