History
Located in the Miño river valley, in Arbo, the origin of the winery dates back to 1862. With 50 hectares of its own land, the vineyards have an average age of 35 years and are south facing, approximately 200m above sea level. More recently in 2015, on an impulse, the fifth generation of the Rivero family decided to create a unique and special wine from this region. Today, the Faustio Rivero Ulecia Albarino reflects the innovative and dynamic spirt of the family behind the brand.
Regional information

This is a grape with high levels of sugar and acidity that guarantee a great freshness for the wines. It is one of the most important symbols of Galicia.
Vinification
De-stemmed and partially crushed with a high proportion of full berries. Maceration during 6 to 8 hours, then the grapes are gently pressed and the must is left to settle for 24 hours. Then it is racked and fermented at 15-18ºC, using selected yeast.
