D'ADDARIO - ACCANTO Susumaniello

It is one of the most characteristic and representative rediscovered grape varieties of a famous wine region in Italy and in the world for the beauty of its territory and for the typical goodness of its cuisine and wines, Salento. Susumaniello is a native red grape variety of Puglia, mainly grown in Salento, between the provinces of Brindisi and Lecce.

Susumaniello, with probable Dalmatian origins, owes its curious name to the fact that the grapevine, especially in its first decade of life, is very productive, so much so that it loads itself almost disproportionately with grape bunches, just like a "little donkey", tireless worker of the countryside. A grape variety that, together with Negroamaro, represents the wine history of Salento, of which it constitutes the viticultural roots, going back to a distant past.
