Tasting Notes: Susumaniello is another indigenous grape from Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot. The “Lampu”, from the local dialect which means lightning, heralds the arrival of rain in Puglia, a blessing for the crops. Dense, opaque, ox-blood red with a dark magenta rim, the wine has a complex aroma of sage, bramble, dusty loam, blackberry and tomato paste. The palate is deep and full of dark fruit: plums, dates, black cherries. Ripe tannins, full body, medium long finish. Certified Organic, Vegan Friendly. Deelish! Pair with the usual suspects: roasts, grilled meats, hard cheeses. Drink now- 2028 ish.
Price: $36.49 750 ml.
