With a compelling score of 96 points, the 2019 Giusti Rosso Umberto I Veneto Montello Rosso Superiore is a standout wine that clearly reflects the rich terroir of its Veneto origin. On the palate, this wine presents an intriguing dance of ripe black cherries and subtle hints of earthy tobacco, creating a flavor profile that’s both complex and approachable. Its well-structured tannins and balanced acidity make it a versatile companion for a variety of dishes, but it truly shines when paired with a hearty Osso Buco or a platter of matured cheeses. Initially retailing at $150, this wine delivers well beyond its peers, making it a smart buy for those who appreciate quality and value in equal measure.
