M'tucci's New Giuseppe's Tribute

/

The new 2019 Giuseppe’s Tribute has finally arrived at all M’tucci’s locations. Conceived and planned by President John Haas and VP Austin Leard as a tribute to M’tucci’s founder, Joseph “Jeff” Spiegel, this Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a single vineyard wine from Rutherford’s Aloto-Pier Vineyard. The name was chosen because Giuseppe is the Italian equivalent of Joseph.

“Jeff’s passion is the Italian lifestyle, which is what he created and brought to Albuquerque with the founding of M’tucci’s Restaurants,” explained John Haas, M’tucci’s Restaurants President. “It felt very important to do something to honor of Jeff and thank him for everything he’s done for all of us. This wine represents the highest level of excellence possible in our wine…a perfectly fitting tribute to him.”

Giuseppe’s Tribute has a perfumed bouquet of wild dark berries, and toasty oak spice, while the flavor is full of classic Cabernet character. The Cab has flavors of blackberry, cassis, and black forest cake, with subtle hints of violet, toast and mocha, which add complexity. The focused tannins are broad, exhibiting the signature cocoa powder texture and expansive character upon which Rutherford is known.  It is a very full-bodied wine and will be a perfect pairing for any of the heartier meat dishes on the menu. 

The latest version of M’tucci’s Rosso is a blend from the Columbia Valley in Washington. Our new Rosso is 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Sangiovese, 20% Barbera and 15% Nebbiolo.

Our new Rosso has aromas of raspberry, black cherry, and baking spice, with deeper flavors of black currant and ripe strawberry.  This wine is medium in body, bright and lively on the palate.  The complexity and bright juicy fruit make it an ideal pairing for any dish on the menu. As the lightest of the M’tucci’s red wine offerings, it is a wonderful complement to all of the pasta dishes as well as many of the lighter meat dishes on the menu.

M’tucci’s 2024 Gala

We closed on January 2, to throw a big party for and to honor our 300+ employees. There were drinks, M’tucci’s Charcuterie Boards (of course), raffled prizes, a catered dinner, a DJ, and awards for Best Dressed, Best  Attitude and Best Teammate. We dressed up and had a night out at the GAAR events room!
