Love this wine, Jeffrey from Pairings wine shop had this paired with Chili so I took it home and made some to try. Fantastic, great grape, rich with fruit and a slight sweetness to play off the spiciness of the chili. Plum, tobacco, zest of grapefruit, blackberry

On the nose, baked black currants, smoke, tarry notes, anise, funky earthiness, black olives, black plum, sap & pine, Asian spices and dry & fresh dark florals. On the palate, baked; black plum, blackberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries, black raspberries, pine & sap, herbs, soft Asian spices, tarry notes, anise, soft leather, mocha, dark chocolate powder, moist turned black earth, crushed dry rocks and dark fresh & dry florals. The finish has dry M-M+ tannins, with dark currants and round mellow acidity with a touch of funk.

Salento IGT 2014, 13.5%.
Tasted in February 2015, at "deGusto Salento" event.
Made with Sussumaniello, a fairly rare local grape.
Very dark and rich color, with enveloping nose.
Taste: layered, full, round and totally satisfying.

Never had a Susumaniello before this. Different varietal. Nice bouquet and flavor.
