Oltremé Salento Susumaniello

Adventures in Southern Italian wine. Plenty of acid with dark, sweet fruit and herbs

"Beyond me"... There are you! A wine reserved to people in love. A susumaniello, local red grape in Puglia, fresh, easy to drink, fruity, with a good balance. Easy to pair with food, but also to drink by its own.

A lot of bang for your buck.

Nice, great guys with touch of earth. Great flesh, hard to beat for the $

Salento IGT 2014, 13.5%.
Tasted in February 2015, at "deGusto Salento" event.
Made with Sussumaniello, a fairly rare local grape.
Very dark and rich color, with enveloping nose.
Taste: layered, full, round and totally satisfying.

Never had a Susumaniello before this. Different varietal. Nice bouquet and flavor.

Tre cool! Dee lush! Crushed cherry pie on leather stilts. Spiced aroma theapy.

Had this with dessert. Rubby red and rich and the nose is a bit funky but the taste is sweet berries. Medium high tannin and high alcohol on palete

Would buy again. Earthy easy drinking wine. A hit with pizza.

Black fruit. Tobacco. Delicious.
