From almost forgotten to beloved

The story behind this wine is quite special. The Susumaniello grape once grew abundantly in Puglia, but fell out of favor. Fortunately, the people of decided San Marzano: “Deze druif is te goed om verloren te laten gaan!” The old vines – just like wise grandfathers – yield their best fruit precisely at a later age. Susumaniello only truly comes into its own when it is somewhat older.

The winemakers here know exactly how to treat this stubborn grape. They harvest it at the perfect moment and craft this refined rosé from it with great care and passion. The result is a successful combination of old traditions and modern winemaking techniques. A wine that showcases the true Southern Italian character – pure and unpretentious.
