Villa Giustinian is the flagship wine of Castello di Roncade. It is a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, which ages in French oak barrels for at least 24 months. A very careful selection of only the healthiest grapes of the best vintages allows the wine to improve with further ageing in the bottle.
