Paolo Leo Alture 350 Susumaniello 2022
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.

Colour

Deep ruby color with violet tinges.

Bouquet

Pronounced aromas of spices, black pepper and cloves, and red fruits like cherry and raspberries.

Flavour

Medium body, elegant smooth tannins, well balanced with a good acidity. Lingering finish of spices and red fruit.

Pairing

Orecchiette with sauce or with turnip tops, soups, mushrooms; cold cuts, soft cheeses; risotto and poultry.
