Faustino started the ‘Art Collection’ line with a spin on their iconic main labels.- – The old merchants were the ones in charge of taking the wine throughout all the countries of the world. For this reason, and because of the family’s passion for art, the 3rd generation of Bodegas Faustino chose Rembrandt’s portrait of the Dutch merchant Nicolaes Van Bambeeck to represent this spirit on their labels.- The Faustino Art Collection is a very approachable line of wines, all with labels that have an intrepretation of this famous portrait.
