100% Susumaniello, an indigenous Puglian variety once nearly lost to the Salento. Aromas of ripe cherry and plum mingle with earthy notes, savory herbs and a hint of Mediterranean garrigue. The palate is juicy and generous, with fresh dark cherry, plum and ripe berry flavors balanced by bright natural acidity and subtle earthy complexity. Dry with M+ acidity, M tannins, M body, M+ flavor intensity and a M+ finish. Despite Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, this wine shows impressive freshness and restraint. Sustainably farmed, dry-farmed and hand-harvested, it offers a delicious introduction to one of Southern Italy's more intriguing native grapes. Only 4,000 bottles produced!
Food Pairing: Grilled lamb, sausage, roasted pork, pizza, tomato-based pasta, grilled octopus, charred tuna, sun-dried tomatoes, oil-cured olives and aged Pecorino
