Description
This is a rich and deeply concentrated Susumaniello from Salento, Italy. It has dark and velvety, creme de cassis-like flavour and texture up-front, which then develops into spiced baked plum with hint of dark chocolate and liquorice, and a tannin texture reminsicent of dried mango. A definite crowd pleaser for the richer red fan! It is lovely to experience such complexity and power from an organic southern Italian red.
Susmaniello is a little-known Puglian variety grown almost exclusively where I Buongiorno is based, in Brindisi, Salento. It is seeing a surge in popularity of late due to a growing interest in the vast range of vibrant native grape varieties that call Italy home. It is a definite go to for those who love those bolder styles, and is a perfect companion to red meats and summery roasted veg.
This wine was harvested in the middle of September 2021, fermented in stainless steel and aged in oak.
Organic farming.
