Red Wine Sussumaniello IGP Salento

Susmaniello is a native variety of Puglia that tells stories of tradition, passion and territory. This vine, rediscovered in recent decades, is a true heritage of Puglia.

Organoleptic characteristics:

• Color: Susmaniello has a deep ruby ​​red color, with purple hues that give the wine great visual intensity. This intense shade is the prelude to a rich and enveloping sensory experience.

• Aroma: The olfactory bouquet is broad and complex, characterized by a pleasant harmony between ripe red fruits, such as plum, cherry, and blackberry. Then there are subtle hints of sweet spices and a light hint of Mediterranean aromatic herbs. Its aromatic expression is typical of the territory, where the warm climate and the sea breeze give the wine an extra edge.

• Taste: Susmaniello is a wine that envelops the palate with a well-balanced structure. The tannins are soft and silky and the body is full and robust, without ever being aggressive. The finish is long, with a persistence that leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness. Its elegance is a perfect balance between softness and complexity, which makes it an extraordinarily versatile wine.

Food pairings: Susmaniello is a wine that lends itself to numerous food pairings.

Thanks to its structure and richness of aromas, it is ideal to taste with dishes of the Apulian cuisine, such as orecchiette with turnip tops, or with second courses based on red meats, roasts, stews and grills. Also excellent with mature cheeses and dishes rich in intense flavors, such as Mediterranean cuisine in general. Superlative with risottos based on porcini mushrooms and truffles. Its versatility makes it perfect to be paired with dishes with a strong flavor, without ever overpowering the dishes, but accompanying them in a harmonious embrace of flavors.
