Tenuta Giustini
Tenuta Giustini is a family-owned estate with around 25 hectares of vineyards in the Ionio Salento region of Apulia, drawing on four generations of grape-growing heritage; Giuseppe Papadopoli planted his first vines in 1991 and launched the estate's first bottled wine in 2005, with his sons Salvatore (enologist) and Federico (cellar master) now leading winemaking operations.

Tasting Profile
Ruby red in colour with aromas of blackcurrant, wild berries, spice and thyme; the palate shows spicy fruit and black cherries with good complexity, balanced acidity, and a clean, fruit-forward finish without being heavy.
Region
Puglia, the 'heel' of Italy's boot, is home to the Negroamaro grape, which thrives particularly in the Salento peninsula in the region's southern third, planted on calcareous clay soils moderated by Mediterranean sea breezes. The region has transformed from a bulk-wine producer into a source of excellent-value, terroir-driven red wines since the 1990s.
Price Context
Approximately £12.60 per bottle in the UK (Firth & Co); positioned as one of the more affordable Puglia IGT wines on the market.
