2024 Duca Carlo Guarini Susumaniello Salento IGT Puglia 6pk 6x750ml

Nine hundred years of history in Salento, and the Guarinis have spent it doing one thing: making their corner of Puglia's native grapes matter. Duca Carlo Guarini farms 700 hectares of estate vineyards and olive groves across the sun-blasted heel of Italy, where Primitivo and Negroamaro have always been the stars — and Susumaniello, the rarest of them, has always been the secret.

Susumaniello is what happens when you ask Puglia for depth instead of volume. Dark, structured, savory — the kind of red that drinks like a northern Italian wine made with southern Italian sunshine. It's a grape that punches above its price every single time, and this bottle is the proof.

Dark ruby-purple in the glass, red and black fruits on the nose, a gentle zesty lift, hints of red flowers. Dry, fresh, balanced — the kind of wine that makes you forget what you paid for it halfway through the first glass.
