Description
What type of wine is it
Tenute Rubino's Oltremé is an organic rosé wine with a Salento Typical Geographical Indication (IGT), made from Susumaniello grapes, featuring a coral colour with bright reflections. On the nose, it offers aromas of rose, cherry, wild strawberries and subtle spicy notes, revealing a fresh, savoury and smooth palate. Vinification in stainless steel enhances its vibrancy and ensures a good, persistent finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the Jaddico-Giancòla Estate, located in the Brindisi area, in the heart of Salento, Puglia. The vineyards, cultivated at sea level, are situated on sandy and clayey soils, ideal for giving the wine a fresh and savoury character. The vines, planted in 2004 and 2019, are trained using the spurred cordon system, with a density of 6,000 vines per hectare, to ensure a balanced yield. Production, overseen by winemaker Luca Petrelli, adopts rigorous agronomic management with a low environmental impact.
How it is produced
The production of Oltremé rosé begins with a manual harvest, carried out in the last ten days of September. In the cellar, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks (16–18 °C) to preserve the grape's aromatic complexity. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out, in order to keep the natural acidity intact. This is followed by an ageing period of four months in steel, which precedes a further rest of 1–2 months in the bottle before release, defining a fragrant and elegant profile.
History and trivia
Born in the early 1980s from a deep bond with the Brindisi territory, the Tenute Rubino project represents today an established presence in Apulian viticulture. Oltremé celebrates this family dedication through the enhancement of Susumaniello, a native grape variety cultivated with rigour on the Jaddico-Giancòla estate. This label, curated by oenologist Luca Petrelli, reflects the authenticity of an artisanal and sustainable production, expressing the vibrant soul of the land of Brindisi. Produced since 2021, this Salento IGT encapsulates a great passion.

Both the traditions of Salento and a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit have been passed down from Tommaso to his son, Luigi, who has since taken over with the support of his wife, Romina. Luigi has undertaken this entrepreneurial legacy, pouring all of his passion into the family’s winery and making it a global ambassador of Apulian viticulture.
After all, winemaking is an ancient art here in Jaddico: over the years, archaeologists have brought to light a Roman manor house filled with kilns, where Visellio—the owner of the estate—fired the amphorae used to export his wine to the four corners of the Roman Empire. At the time, this land was home to extensive vineyards and served as an important manufacturing center for wine containers.
Tenute Rubino is an Apulian brand with a strong international market presence. The company has consistently and successfully exported its labels to 20 countries such as the US, Canada and Brazil. Read more
