The vinification took place as follows: The Susumaniello grape is an autochthonous variety, which is only cultivated in Apulia, the province of Brindisi. The name originated from “somarello” (donkey) in Apulian dialect, which indicates the high productivity of the vines with the expression “come un somaro” (like a donkey). It is actually advisable to believe this story that many producers tell... it takes a lot of patience, as it takes at least ten years to produce this important wine from Susumaniello grapes. Good care and attention in the vineyard, vinified in its purity — all this results in an optimal result in the wine cellar, which is important when consumers are looking for autochthonous and new grapes, diametrically opposed to all types of international wines. According to some theories, this grape comes from Dalmatia with a story similar to that of Primitivo, but upside down, it does not cross the borders of the Brindisi area. Let us note that in 2008, some researchers conducted a study on Sangiovese and Garganega in order to determine the relationship with other Italian grape varieties via DNA. What is interesting about this study is that there is a kind of parental relationship between Sangiovese and Susumaniello. Sangiovese is probably the father of Susumaniello. Wines made from Susumaniello grapes have a dark red color. On the nose, it has fruity aromas, intense with spicy aromas, which are intensified by storage in wood for a short time. It is very pleasant on the palate, with lovely freshness and fine tannins. Acidity 5.8 g/l; residual sugar 6 g/l
