Boccantino Primitivo Susumaniello 2025
Boccantino Primitivo Susumaniello is a vibrant, full-bodied red wine from the sun-soaked vineyards of Salento in Puglia , southern Italy . A blend of 70% Primitivo and 30% Susumaniello, it brings together two of the region's most characterful indigenous varieties to create a wine of real warmth, depth and personality. Why You'll Love It This is southern Italian red winemaking at its most expressive and generous. Primitivo brings the dark fruit power and richness you expect from Puglia, while Susumaniello adds a lifted freshness and aromatic complexity that keeps the wine lively and engaging. Carefully tended vines, low yields and hand harvesting ensure only the best fruit makes it into the bottle. Bold enough to impress, smooth enough to enjoy any night of the week. Vineyard and Production Grapes are sourced from sun-drenched vineyards in Salento, where the Mediterranean climate and fertile soils create optimal conditions for producing ripe, aromatic fruit. After harvest, fermentation takes place with careful temperature control to preserve fruit intensity. Part of the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and purity, while another portion matures in large oak barrels to add complexity, depth and subtle spice. A final three months of bottle ageing brings everything together before release. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour with pronounced aromas of prunes, blackberry and black pepper. The palate is full-bodied, warm and expressive, with ripe dark fruit flavours complemented by gentle oak nuances. Smooth tannins and a long, lingering finish make this wine as approachable as it is complex. Perfect Pairings Ideal with roasted meats, game, pasta with rich sauces and mature cheeses. Also excellent alongside slow-braised lamb, beef ragu or a hearty charcuterie board. Grape Varieties Primitivo , Susumaniello
