      Imprint Susumaniello

      Susumaniello is a rare, ancient red Puglian grape, grown in the Salento Peninsula. Its name comes from the local dialect and it means ‘Little Donkey’. Old timers told us that the name comes from the enormous load the vines bear when young. ‘Finally we have a grape with the same personality as the winemaker’ Elvi told me… I could not resist the challenge of working with this precious and unique variety. This is a wine where the earth, people and the terroir shine.
