2022 Masseria Li Veli Askos Susumaniello Salento

Producer: Masseria Li Veli  
Region: Puglia, Italy 
Varietal: Susumaniello 
Year: 2022   

Winemaker Notes: 

"Li Veli features little-known native grape varieties of Puglia in its Askos line. With just 125 acres (50 ha) in all of Italy, Susumaniello certainly fits in that category. Li Veli's varietal Susumaniellos are a rare opportunity to taste this ancient grape variety that is just starting to garner attention.

Deep ruby red. A wine with great character on the nose: sensations of black and red berries are backed by spicy notes, hints of licorice and cocoa and notes of eucalyptus. It is a full-bodied but not heavy wine, extremely satisfying and easy to drink." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
