Winemaking process:
Grapes from vines over 20 years old, partly bush-trained, on clay-sand soils with limestone are hand-picked at the end of September. They ferment in French oak vats at 22–28°C, then mature for about nine months in barriques and larger French oak barrels. Susumaniello had almost vanished from Puglia before projects like Askos revived it.
Interesting notes:
ASKOS is Li Veli’s project to preserve and promote rare native Puglian grape varieties.
