Descrizione

Susumaniello Salento Rosso IGP - Collezione Terra di Varvaglione is an oenological jewel that expresses the true essence of Salento. This red wine is characterized by the native Susumaniello vine, which is particularly appreciated for its ability to produce wines rich in color and aromatic intensity.

In the glass, Susumaniello Salento Rosso presents a deep and lively ruby red color. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruit such as plums and cherries immediately stand out, enriched by nuances of sweet spices and a light touch of vanilla, the result of skilful aging in wood.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a perfect balance between acidity and soft tannins that promise a pleasantly persistent sip. The finish is long and seductive, with returns of fruit and spices that invite another sip.

An ideal accompaniment for robust dishes, such as roast red meat, game or mature cheeses, Susumaniello Salento Rosso IGP - Collezione Terra di Varvaglione is an excellent choice for those looking for a wine that combines tradition and quality. A true example of how local vines can be enhanced to obtain wines with character and depth.
