Red wine with Protected Geographical Indication Valle d’Itria by grapes Susumaniello

Imported from neighboring Dalmatia Susumaniello is one of the most important indigenous varieties of Brindisi. His name (there are various theories) is due to the fact that, at a young age, not in recent times, the plant Susumaniello was particularly productive, so overloaded with grapes as if it were a donkey. The name VersoSud (towards the south) is indicative of the position of the vineyards , located in the area to the south of the Itria Valley arriving in the territory of the province of Brindisi.

Verso Sud performs with an intense ruby red color with violet reflections, it leaves the palate with hints of blackberry and cherry and sweet toasted notes. The taste is soft but persistent while remaining balanced. Verso Sud is a wine for all times, appetizer and starters, excellent with meat of any kind (rabbit, veal, lamb, etc.).. Ideal with Parmigiana,it is also in perfect harmony with cheese.
