The Susumaniello grape variety has a withdrawn character. This is why the wine is called “Susco”, which translates into “shy” in the local dialect
Grape varietal & region: 100% Susumaniello. The fruit comes from vines that grow in the Salento appellation. The vineyards have coastal soils with a medium textured sandy loam and good presence of rocks. It’s quite shallow, dark, permeable and draining.
Taste profile: Susco Susumaniello has a lively ruby red colour, complex bouquet and elegant tannins. The nose is fruity and floral with delicate spicy balsamic notes. The elegant and well-structured palate has a good tannin weave and interesting acidity. Rich plum, blackberry and cherry fruit flavours mingle with hints of liquorice, balsamic and vanilla spices.
Thermo-controlled maceration and alcoholic fermentation for about 10 days with selected yeasts. Ageing in French and American oak barrels for 6 months.
