With a remarkable score of 97 points from Luca Maroni, the Boccantino Susumaniello Salento IGT 2018 is a standout expression of this lesser-known varietal. Hailing from the sun-soaked vineyards of Salento, this wine captivates with its lush aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it unfolds layers of velvety fruit, balanced by a touch of spice and a refreshing acidity that keeps it vibrant. This wine is perfect for cozy dinners featuring rich pasta dishes or grilled meats, making it a versatile companion for your next gathering. Given its exceptional quality, it’s a smart buy for the price, delivering far beyond what you’d expect at this level.
