Susumaniello

In the heart of Salento, amidst the warm rays of the sun and the sea breeze, Susumaniello is born, a red wine that embodies the beauty and tradition of Puglia. This native grape variety, whose fascinating name means "little donkey" in the local dialect, alludes to its ability to produce generous quantities of grapes, especially in its early years of life. Originally from this land rich in history and culture, Susumaniello was long forgotten but is now experiencing a revival that celebrates its uniqueness and distinctive character.

Susumaniello grapes are primarily cultivated in the province of Brindisi, where they find an ideal habitat thanks to the calcareous soil and Mediterranean climate. The winemaking process employs traditional methods aimed at preserving the fruit's authenticity, enhancing its innate characteristics. In the cellar, Susumaniello can be aged in steel to maintain its freshness or in wood to enrich it with complexity and aromatic nuances.

The organoleptic profile of Susumaniello is extraordinarily intriguing. On the nose, it presents an aromatic bouquet ranging from notes of red and black fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, to delicate hints of spices and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, this wine reveals a medium-full body, with velvety tannins and a pleasant acidity that imparts freshness and vivacity. The finish is long and harmonious, with a fruity aftertaste and a hint of minerality.

With its versatility and charm, Susumaniello is perfect for pairing with rich and flavorful dishes typical of Puglian cuisine, such as orecchiette with turnip tops, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses.
