Susumaniello is an ancient, native black grape from Puglia, specifically from the Itria Valley. Its name refers to its very high yields in youth, that local people defined it as "loaded like a donkey" (somarello in Italian). It was ignored by puglian vinicultures for a long period, but lately it has been rediscovered and, by using modern techniques, it is now able to produce well-structured and elegant reds

Characterized by extensive flat areas and modest hilly reliefs, the Salento region is geologically constituted
by a calcareous structure of medium texture.

Primitivo grapes ripen very early, which explains its name. Interestingly, just 20 days after the harvest, Primitivo vines produce new grapes, traditionally called "second harvest"; these younger bunches are used by the winemaker to increase the freshness and acidity of these bold wines, given as a result a perfectly well-balanced red wine.
TASTING NOTES: deep ruby color; pronounced bouquet of black berries, mainly cassis and black currant, with notes of licorice and coconut; full-bodied and balanced, with velvety tannins and a perfect acidity; lingering finish of forest fruits and spices jam.

Coribante is an intriguing wine due to the unexpected union of the aromas and character of two red grape varieties: Syrah from which it takes the scents and aromas of a fresh wine, and dried Malvasia Nera di Lecce, aged in barrique from which it takes the fullness and the body of a mature wine. The name of the wine is inspired by the lively character of the Corybantes, dancers who, to the rhythm of the tambourine, unleashed frenetic dances and pulsating music, capable of transmitting heat and energy in an unparalleled harmony.
