Faustino 1 Tinto Gran Reserva 1987, crafted in Spain’s Rioja, is a Tempranillo-driven blend with Graciano and Mazuelo from the estate’s limestone and clay terroir. The bouquet reveals evolved red cherry, cassis, and leather, with notes of tobacco, spice, and subtle oak, accented by hints of minerality. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity balancing the mature fruit. Extended aging in American oak delivers a refined, lingering finish with remarkable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, cured meats, or aged cheeses, this wine reflects Faustino’s traditional winemaking, offering a sophisticated experience for Rioja enthusiasts seeking a mature red. Its elegance and complexity make it a standout from the 1987 vintage, embodying Rioja Alavesa’s iconic terroir.
