The territory is characterised by a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and very dry summers, conditions that favour optimal and healthy ripening of the grapes. The vines are trellis-trained and take root in soils of a \u003cstrong\u003emainly calcareous nature with a predominance of clay\u003c\/strong\u003e. This particular soil and climate combination plays a fundamental role in giving the wine its intense red colour with purple highlights and a solid and fascinating \u003cstrong\u003estructure\u003c\/strong\u003e. The name of the grape variety itself derives from the high productivity of young plants, which load themselves with bunches just like a little donkey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production of this Salento begins with a careful manual harvest, aimed at selecting only the bunches that have reached the perfect degree of ripeness. In the cellar, a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place for about eight to ten days, accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003eperiodic pumping over\u003c\/strong\u003e to favour the optimal extraction of colour and aromatic components. Subsequently, alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, followed by the complete malolactic fermentation. Finally, the wine is \u003cstrong\u003eaged in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and completes its journey with a period of rest in the bottle, which allows the various structural components to blend perfectly and reach full gustatory balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1927 in Tuglie, the family-run \u003cstrong\u003eMottura\u003c\/strong\u003e winery has always championed native Apulian grape varieties, passing down a heritage full of charm. This red wine celebrates a unique grape whose name, \u003cstrong\u003eSusumaniello\u003c\/strong\u003e, derives from a curious anecdote linked to its extraordinary productivity in its youth. The vine tends to load itself with bunches exactly like a little donkey ('somarello'). This deep passion allows for the preservation of the memory of an authentic \u003cstrong\u003eSalento IGT\u003c\/strong\u003e, skilfully honouring the ancient roots and the most noble farming traditions of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mottura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48157536911531,"sku":"62815","price":8.6,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/villa-mottura-salento-susumaniello-2025_62815_1_6f25ac24-2351-4071-99eb-b4a2002bbe9f.webp?v=1792407295","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/villa-mottura-salento-susumaniello-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
