{"product_id":"faustino-i-gran-reserva-rioja","title":"Faustino I Gran Reserva","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaustino I Gran Reserva is one of the most famous Rioja wines ever — a benchmark for the region for decades and still the best-selling Gran Reserva worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Faustino winery originated in \u003cb\u003eOyón in the Rioja Alavesa region\u003c\/b\u003e , where Julio Faustino laid the foundation for one of Spain\u0026#39;s most important wineries in the 1960s. The Tempranillo grape—complemented by small amounts of Graciano and Mazuelo—grows here on calcareous clay soils, which give the wine its characteristic structure. As a Gran Reserva, the wine spends at least two years in oak barrels and a further three years in the bottle before leaving the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, it displays ripe \u003cb\u003eblackberry and plum\u003c\/b\u003e , underpinned by vanilla and cedar from barrel aging. With time, it opens up to spicy notes of leather and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied with softly integrated tannins, the acidity remains lively – the finish is long and balsamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Pairs well with \u003cb\u003eleg of lamb, Ibérico pork, or aged Manchego cheese\u003c\/b\u003e . If you have an open bottle: decant it two hours before drinking; it\u0026#39;s worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faustino","offers":[{"title":"2016","offer_id":52985051971920,"sku":"VJ0252-2016","price":16.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_faustino_i_gran_reserva_rioja.webp?v=1771238582","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/faustino-i-gran-reserva-rioja","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
