This grape, almost abandoned, has been revived by winemakers like Leone de Castris. Per Lui is a range of wines made from indigenous grape varieties, and dedicated to the pioneer of wine grandfather, Salvatore Leone de Castris. This wine production is only 2,000 bottles !

Old and rare local grape that gives great complex wines, well structured, with aromas of ripe fruits, and very productive the first 10 years, hence the name Susumaniello (which means "loaded like a donkey").

After 10 years, the productivity of the vine goes significantly down. Grapes ripening in mid-September are very sweet, with a good content of total acidity.
This rare red wine can satisfy the most demanding palates.
