In 1991 Giuseppe Papadopoli purchased his first hectares of vineyard in the district of Giustini. A fourth generation grape grower with Italian and Greek heritage, Giuseppe felt like it was time for a change and started the dream of one day making his own wine.
Along with his sons Salvatore and Federico they released their first bottle in 2005 – named “Vecchio Sogno” which means “Old Dreams”.
In 2015 the dream came true when the Giustini winery was built in the village of San Giorgio in Puglia’s Salento sub region along the Adriatic coastline. This is an area known for its hot, dry Mediterranean climate and fertile soils. Combined with four generations of wine making know-how the Papadopoli family are crafting some very smart wines and in particular the likes of Primitivo and Negroamaro.
This is their Costiero Rosato (Italian for Rosé) made entirely from Negroamaro grapes from a unique vineyard a stone’s throw from the sea. In their own words – “A crystalline rosé wine with an elegant soul and an interminable sip.”
Scoring 5 Stars and 93/100 with critic Sam Kim who said “A juicy palate delivering fleshy texture, backed by crisp acidity, making it lively and fabulously drinkable.”
