A vine with a surly temperament, Susumaniello. That's why Susco, "reserved" in the local dialect. Generous in youth, as it ages it becomes frugal, if not stingy, in yields. For its low productivity set aside in the past and today revalued, by us in purity. It gives wines with a lively color, complex bouquet and elegant tannins.
