Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello "Askos" 2022
The unusual name of this grape is said to be the local dialect word for Somarello, or ‘donkey’. So “load the donkey” is a possible interpretation, given that it is an abundant cropper. All that aside, the wine is utterly delicious. The warm, almost stewed red fruity aromas suggest its southern origins (Puglia is a very hot place indeed). However, on the pallet it is surprisingly fresh and spicy with notes of black pepper, tobacco and very classy French oak.
One of our best-selling red wines of all!
