CUCCIMANNE' ROSATO SUSUMANIELLO SALENTO IGP 2024

Tradition and respect for the land can be found in this riserva wine. Cupone has a unique and austere character obtained by using grapes from old negroamaro bush-vines. A particularly bright and full-bodied red wine; hints of tobacco, nuts and Mediterranean herbs on the nose; soft tannins and balsamic hints on the palate.  

One of the most intriguing and fascinating negroamaro. This is why it is always worth keeping a good supply in the cellar to drink a glass of it at the right time. It is a wine with an intense red colour. The nose explodes with hints of carob and raisins. In the mouth it has spicy notes of black pepper and tobacco. The finish is long and structured. The first vintage produced was 2002 in 2,298 bottles. All bottles are numbered by hand. In the vintage of 2013, only 380 magnum bottles were produced, all numbered by hand and all are sold with a certificate of authenticity.

If you are looking for tradition and respect for the territory, this reserve wine will not betray your expectations. It is a wine with an austere and unique character obtained from ancient negroamaro “Alberelli”. Particularly bright red and good consistency. Notes of tobacco, nuts and Mediterranean herbs on the nose. Soft tannins and balsamic notes on the palate.

All grape varieties have their own story and primitivo is no exception: from Gioia del Colle it travelled to Manduria and then to Guagnano. Each Primitivo has different characteristics: DieciAnni Primitivo is an elegant and opulent wine. It has a dense red colour with intense violet tints. Voluptuous and persistent on the nose with a penetrating and intriguing perfume of violet. Soft tannins enhance the hints of liquorice, black cherry and plum.

This wine remains engraved in the memory in the same way as our ancestors stuck the "pietrefinite" into the ground, centuries-old guardians of the geographical limit of their vineyards. Ruby red with purple waves. In the nose it offers sensations of black cherry and licorice. In the mouth an endless finish of cocoa and almond fig. The first vintage produced was 2011.

Hand-painted wooden box by painters Mario Miccoli and Nadia Verrienti that reproduces a typical Apulian landscape. The box contains a bottle of Le Camarde Negroamaro&Primitivo IGP Salento, one of Cupone Salice Salentino Negroamaro Riserva Dop and one of Nero di Velluto Negroamaro IGT Salento.

This wine is produced with grapes from three vineyards located in an area named Camarda. We think of them as three old sisters (Le Camarde is the plural noun of Camarda) reliably giving us great wines every year. When young it is a dense ruby-red wine with a complex nose with hints of potpourri and dried flowers. Coffee and dark chocolate on the palate with a long finish supported by silky tannins.

The meeting point is the cellar, located in the town. We will then drive to the vineyards of negroamaro cultivated according to the ancient "alberello" system, just outside the town. We will then continue the visit to the "vignesalve", organic vineyards, where you can visit an ancient well of Salento with a circular plan, dug by hand and built in tuff and carparo from Lecce. We continue with the artistic-existential hermitage of a famous painter from Guagnano (Vincent) to surprise the eyes and soul by admiring the beautiful Gaudian-style building and its characteristic paintings.

This is a fascinating and rewarding Salento Negromaro, worth keeping  in the cellar to drink a glass at just the right moment. Intense red wine with an explosion of carob and raisins on the nose; spicy hints of black pepper and tobacco in the mouth. The finish is long with firm structure.
