Description

Susumaniello is an ancient, native black grape from Puglia, specifically from the Itria Valley. Its name refers to its very high yields in youth, that local people defined it as "loaded like a donkey" (somarello in Italian). It was ignored by puglian vinicultures for a long period, but lately it has been rediscovered and, by using modern techniques, it is now able to produce well-structured and elegant reds.

  • Start up year: 1989
  • Oenologist: Nicola Leo
  • Bottles produced: 5.000.000
  • Hectares: 70
Paolo Leo, born in 1960, was born into a family where producing wine was an inevitable legacy; in the early 20th century, the forefather began to vinify his grapes in the Monticello Masseria, then his son Paolo Leo inherited the land and built the palmento (the first stone building used to produce wine) in the village.

Today he is still an heir, the namesake Paolo Leo, son of Nicola, to lead the new winery, together with his wife Roberta and his eldest sons Nicola and Stefano, who are paving the way for the younger brothers Francesco and Alessandro. Read more
