Susumaniello is an ancient variety grown in the Southern region of Salento (the heel of the region of Apulia) Previously used as a blending grape to add colour and density to a wine, plantings were revived in the 1980’s and now is being seen as a single variety. Dried cranberry, prune and spice flavours; maybe some chocolate and cherry.
This is a red that will have you swirling, sniffing, sipping, and saying really eloquent things like, ‘Oh, wow’, ‘This is SO nice’, and ‘I bloody love this wine’. This Susumaniello from Salento in southern Italy has red apple, raspberry, and chocolate-covered cherry characters and dishes up sweet, spicy berries like a champion. Lush, plush, and super-sippable.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Dark red colour with purple hints. Complex bouquet with red fruits aroma and spicy notes. In the mouth it is warm and intense. Perfectly combined with pasta with meat sauce, grilled meat and aged cheeses."
