Susumaniello is an ancient and rare grape of the Salento peninsula. In Salento dialect Susumaniello means "Little Black Donkey". The old farmers say that it derives from the habit of the vineyards to load themselves with grapes, others argue it is due to the stubborn character and the reluctance to be tamed. Finally a grape and a winemaker with the same personality! This is a wine as radiant as its land, a wine that speaks the language of the people here.
