Bodegas Faustino, one of the ‘First Families of Rioja’, was founded in 1861 by the Martinez family and is actively managed today by the 4th generation Martinez daughters. Faustino received its recognition from the first export of Faustino Reserva wines in the 1960s. Today, it stands as best-selling Gran Reserva in the world, and the iconic bottle featuring Rembrandt's art has become the symbol of the excellence of Rioja wines. Faustino wines are now enjoyed in more than 140 countries. All Faustino labels feature the portrait of Nicolaes van Bambeeck, painted by master artist Rembrandt van Rijn in 1641. Bambeeck was a wealthy merchant who made his fortune trading Spanish wool, spices and wine. Bodegas Faustino is the one of the largest vineyard owners in Rioja with 650ha of vineyards – primarily in the Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta regions spanning Laguardia, Logroño and Mendavia y Oyón, which accounts for 50% of all Faustino production and 100% of Faustino Gran Reserva and Reserva. Additionally, it maintains longstanding partnerships with growers who share a commitment to excellence. All vineyards are controlled by Faustino team with the latest technologies.

The Faustino team strives to create wines that are perfect to be enjoyed now and with ability to stand the test of time. Famous for its patience, Bodegas Faustino releases wine only when they have achieved the perfect balance.
