Story and Longevity

Susumaniello, whose name refers to the ‘load’ of grapes produced by young vines, is a grape variety undergoing strong rediscovery. Flaminio offers a pure and modern version, concentrated and savory. The aging in cement, rather than wood, is aimed at preserving its rich fruity and spicy character. Being a structured wine with soft tannins, it is enjoyable now but has an aging potential of **3-5 years**.
