Susumaniello 2023 - Cantele 75cl
Susumaniello embodies resilience. Once renowned for its productivity, this Puglian grape variety was neglected before being reborn under a new identity. Today, it reveals an intense and fresh red, marked by notes of morello cherry and blackberry, beautiful tension, and silky tannins.
Grown in cordon, it is harvested in mid-September. After a six-day maceration and fermentation between 22 and 24°C, it is aged mainly in stainless steel vats, with a small proportion in French and American oak barrels. Its aging potential of four to five years allows it to gain complexity over time.
Served at 18°C, it pairs perfectly with roasts and mature cheeses. More than a rediscovered grape variety, Susumaniello proves that character never fades: it evolves, adapts, but remains, elegantly defying time.
