Joe Giusti grew up in Italy but built his future in Calgary before circling back to his roots with the launch of Giusti Wine.
Now a standout in the Veneto region, his Rosalia Prosecco brings lively sparkle and Italian charm to any celebration and patio.
Giusti Wine
Calgary entrepreneur Ermenegildo (Joe) Giusti was born and raised in Italy but moved to Canada in his teens, building several businesses, including one of Western Canada’s most successful construction companies.
In 2003, he returned to Italy to start Giusti Wine. The first vineyards were on land owned by his wife Maria’s family; since then, the winery has expanded to become a major player in the country’s famous Veneto region.
Made from Glera grapes (the official Prosecco grape), these food-friendly bubbles are lovely for Easter brunch or as an aperitif before dinner. Pale straw in colour, they have notes of apples, lemon zest and a hint of flowers. The Rosalia Extra Dry is especially good when served with smoked salmon or fresh oysters.
Giusti Wine, Rosalia Prosecco, Treviso Extra Dry | About $21 | Widely available
