With a nobility title going back to the 1600’s, 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 a two-hectare property where Giusti Wine was to be established. Starting with just a few hectares of vineyards, today, Giusti includes an area of approximately 75 hectares in the heart of the Veneto, producing award-winning sparkling, white and red wines.
