Afterwards, the wine matures for six months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and American oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This measured period in wood smooths out the rough edges and integrates elegant \u003cstrong\u003etoasted and spicy notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, defining a harmonious profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated to enhance a noble \u003cstrong\u003enative grape variety of Salento\u003c\/strong\u003e, Susco by Cantine San Marzano restores prestige to pure Susumaniello, a grape historically set aside due to its low yield.
