Tenuta del Pajaru Lampu Susumaniello 2024

Tenuta del Pajaru Lampu Susumaniello 2024 is a vibrant, deeply colored, and characterful Italian red wine crafted in the heart of Puglia from 100% Susumaniello, an ancient indigenous grape variety native to Salento. Vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its expressive primary fruit and varietal purity, it presents an intense ruby-violet hue in the glass. The nose opens with inviting aromas of fresh dark cherries, wild blackberries, red plums, violet, and a subtle hint of Mediterranean herbs and warm sweet spices. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, supple, and fruit-forward, featuring a soft, velvety texture balanced by lively natural acidity and smooth, integrated tannins that lead into a clean, juicy finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta with rich tomato ragù, roasted pork tenderloin, aged pecorino, and savory Mediterranean vegetable dishes.
