About this wine
96 POINTS! Incredibly rare, unimaginably delicious CABERNET \u0026amp; MERLOT blend from SASSACAIA’s revered oenologist, Graziana Grassini!!! YES!!!! Giusti’s UMBERTO I is BACK, y’all — and when the critics croon on that “this bold, plush, juicy and inviting flagship red is the freshest and most electric to date” you better listen! We’ve shared Joe Giusti’s flagship Veneto red before — and not only is it the best ever…this stands apart as the BIGGEST…BADDEST…most utterly delectable red from Veneto I have tasted…EVER!!! Just a gobsmackingly EPIC 96 POINT Venetian beauty that will siren-song you right into the nearest canal if you’re not careful. The roses and violets! And smoky meats, with sanguine intensity, and blackberries, and brandied cherries, with roasted plums, and savory herbs and spices! This bold and layered STUNNER is all poise and balance, and this tightly wound complexity that is going to stretch out like a morning fern over time. $170 at the winery (Sassacaia’s winemaker don’t come cheap!), but today — we’ve got it at a mind-melting 67+% OFF!!! Yee-haw!!! I had my mathematically inclined colleague do the math…we’re talking about $115 in savings, good people! Joe Giusti is one of the most influential vineyard barons in all of Veneto — bubbles, whites, reds...you name it, we’re in! He’s one of those LARGER THAN LIFE kinda guys — and we LOVE visiting his incredible estate whenever we’re in Italy! His estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend refuses to stand in his larger than average shadow, and with the help of Sassacaia’s LEGENDARY Graziana Grassini — this powerful wine illuminates the void quite impressively all on its own! If you LOVE unapologetically BOLD Napa Cabs — you simply have to try THIS! PACKED, stacked, and fully racked up with flavor — it just goes on FOREVER! 96 POINTS, over 67% off, under $60…hmmmm, what’s left? Oh yeah…WHILE IT LASTS!
