GIUSTI WINE

HISTORY

With a nobility title going back to 1600, in 2004 Ermenegildo Giusti, Noble of Conegliano, revived an old family tradition and restored from the ashes of time his cultural heritage. Although his father Augusto Giusti, born in Venissieux France, produced and had a living passion for wine, Ermenegildo Giusti started his journey later in life. This journey started with the purchase of two-hectare property where Giusti Wine was to be established.

The Italian company Giusti Wine was in fact developed from the original Dal Col vineyard owned by his wife’s family, which dated back to 1945. Although just a small estate with a few hectares of land it was highly renowned for its traditional, quality production of Prosecco, Bianchetta and Veriso wine.

In Italy, the company’s full name is Societa Agricola Giusti-Dal Col srl. Giusti Wine developed very rapidly. From the first vineyard planted in 2002, today it includes an area of approximative 75 hectares producing white and red wines.

After a blistering Easter weekend in the UK, we can’t wait for hot summer days filled with cool, refreshing wines. What better way to celebrate the start of good weather than with a crisp Italian fizz?

Back in 2014, at our inaugural Prosecco Masters, mixed among the bigger brands of the region was a sample that shone.

A touch drier than most of its rivals, this was a Brut style of Prosecco, but with plenty of mouth-filling ripe fruit. The brand was Giusti – and the person behind it was Ermenegildo Giusti, a man who had made his fortune in the construction business in Canada, but whose home was the region of Prosecco. Having planted the first vineyard in Prosecco in 2002, Giusti is a relatively new player in this part of Italy, but one with ambition, and with a particular aim to promote the Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG.

Indeed, the Proseccos of Giusti have consistently performed to a high level in our Prosecco Masters, whatever the cuvée. However, it was the Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut that caught our attention, with its pure, ripe peach and pear fruit, a testament to the quality of grapes grown on the hills of Montello, which lie within this DOCG – a smaller area than the better-known DOCG of Valdobbiadene Conegliano, but one worth seeking out.
