2023 Susumaniello Rosé Wine – Masseria Li Veli Askos Salento Italy

Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello 2023: A Puglia Red Wine with Coastal Elegance

Hailing from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, Italy, this Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello 2023 is a celebration of tradition and terroir. Crafted by master winemakers at Masseria Li Veli, this Puglia red wine showcases the unique character of the Susumaniello grape, offering a fresh twist on Italian viticulture with its vibrant copper hue and coastal-inspired flavors.

Tasting Notes:
This 2023 vintage opens with delicate aromas of dew-kissed roses, strawberries, and raspberries, layered with hints of peony for a floral bouquet that’s both inviting and sophisticated. On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance—velvety smooth yet surprisingly structured, thanks to its light tannic touch that adds depth without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. The finish lingers with a briny minerality reminiscent of sea breezes, making it a standout among low-tannin Italian reds.

Why It Stands Out:
Perfect for those seeking a rosé-like alternative without sacrificing complexity, this wine pairs effortlessly with seafood dishes, light pasta salads, or as an apéritif on warm evenings. At 12.5% alcohol, it’s approachable yet refined, ideal for casual gatherings or gourmet dining experiences alike.

Sip sustainably: Bottled at its estate in Southern Italy, this Susumaniello variety reflects Masseria Li Veli’s commitment to preserving Puglia’s heritage while crafting wines that resonate globally.
