THE SUSUMANIELLO, THE STORY OF A GRAPE VARIETY THAT ALMOST DISAPPEARED
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.


Leaf Characteristics: The Susumaniello grape variety has medium-sized, pentagon-shaped, pentagon-lobed leaves.
Cluster Characteristics: The Susumaniello grape variety has compact, medium-sized, pyramidal clusters.
Berry Characteristics: The Susumaniello grape variety has medium-sized, spherical-shaped berries with a pruinose, less firm skin that is blue-black in color.

LOCATION: Turi, in the heart of the Murgia region. The area benefits from a terrain containing karst and limestone which is ideal for growing vines. The hills, which reach
as high as 300 meters above sea level, and have notable day-to-night temperature variations, are ideal for the aromatic concentration of the grapes.

FERMENTATION & AGING: Malo-lactic fermentation and aging in French oak barrels (medium toasting) for about 3-4 months. 

TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby red hue. The aroma reveals hints of red fruits, with prune standing out, combined with herbaceous and spicy notes. On the palate it is complex, fresh, and pleasantly tannic, with a long finish.

FOOD PARING: Ideal paired with beef, pork, lamb, and savory pasta and rice dishes.  Deep ruby red hue. The aroma reveals hints of red fruits, with prune standing out, combined with herbaceous and spicy notes. On the palate it is complex, fresh, and pleasantly tannic, with a long finish. Best served with beef, pork, lamb and savory first courses.
