In the winery

Vinification: Following mechanical crushing and destemming, the must undergoes spontaneous fermentation facilitated by the addition of a pied de cuve containing indigenous yeasts, which are uniquely suited to express our terroir. After approximately 10 days, near the end of fermentation, the skins are separated via gentle pressing to ensure a balanced tannin extraction and maintain high drinkability. The alcoholic fermentation is then completed in stainless steel tanks.

Natural decantation without fining agents. Unfiltered.

Aging: in stainless steel on fine lees for 6 months, followed by a brief aging of 2-3 months in large, lightly toasted wooden casks, and a further 3 months of bottle aging; malolactic fermentation occurs during the refinement period. Minimal addition of sulfur dioxide prior to bottling.

Tasting notes: Brilliant ruby red with violet reflections; the bouquet ranges from black cherry and cherry notes to spices such as cloves and white pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, and balanced, with well-polished, fine, and elegant tannins. Authentic Susumaniello!

Pairings: Perfect throughout the meal with land-based dishes. It is also a must-try with fresh cheeses, vegetables, and legume soups.

Serving temperature: 16°C.
