Salento IGP Susumaniello

A wine that demonstrates how Susumaniello, when expertly crafted, can achieve results of remarkable elegance. Deep ruby red in color. On the nose, it reveals notes of red fruit and spices—black pepper and clove—alongside earthy nuances and subtle saline hints. On the palate, it is full-bodied, balanced and rich, supported by a pleasant freshness and salinity. The tannins are smooth and refined, with a long-lasting finish.
