The historical benchmark of Ruggeri, first produced when the house was founded in 1950. Giustino B is named after Giustino Bisol, who co-founded the house; this Extra Dry expression became one of the most recognised Prosecco Superiore labels in the zone.

What it pairs with

  • Prosciutto e melone
    The off-dry profile with melon fruit is a natural match for the classic Italian starter.
  • Smoked salmon blini
    Light sweetness tempers the smoke and salt of the salmon.
  • Cheese fondue
    Soft effervescence and gentle sweetness cut the richness of melted cheese.

History

Ruggeri was co-founded by Giustino Bisol in 1950, and the house's flagship Extra Dry carries his name. The Giustino B label has been one of the consistently acclaimed expressions of the Extra Dry category and helped define the accessible-but-quality tier of Valdobbiadene DOCG production.
