Susumaniello is an ancient grape, supposedly found only in the Italian region of Apulia (Puglia) and is thought to be a cross between Sangiovese and some unidentified parent (bastard child). Perfumed and fragrant blackberry, delicate black liquorice, heady balsamic and plum; this is light-bodied and soft, but framed with very grippy, downy and thorny tannins. The balsamic lingers on the grippy finish. Fresh and characterful, and lovely with lighter pork or rabbit.
