The Faustino Rivero winery was founded more than 100 years ago by Olegario Rivero in the Riojan area of Arnedo. Today the business is run by the fourth generation of the family and is known as one of the most modern and progressive. This Rioja Crianza, made from 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha is aged for a minimum of two years in American Oak barrels. It is soft, fruity and elegant with hints of vanilla and fine oak and velvety smooth tannin. Great with meat dishes and strong cheeses.
