Susumaniello is one of Puglia's most exciting native red grapes, producing deeply coloured wines with ripe blackberry, black cherry and plum flavours, supported by gentle spice, fresh acidity and smooth, well-balanced tannins.
Although it nearly disappeared during the twentieth century, Susumaniello has enjoyed a remarkable revival and is now recognised for producing modern, elegant red wines that combine generous fruit with freshness and structure. It offers a style that sits comfortably between the richness of Primitivo and the savoury character of Negroamaro.
