Susumaniello is one of the most characteristic and representative indigenous vines rediscovered in the Itria Valley. It is a red grape variety grown mainly in the Brindisi area.

It owes its name so curious to the fact that the plants, in the first years of life, are very productive, so much so that they are loaded in an almost disproportionate way with bunches, just like a “donkey“, a tireless worker in the countryside.

Le Rotaie rosé is produced from 100% Susumaniello grapes.
The name Le Rotaie is inspired by the location in which the Susumaniello vineyards are located from which this rosé is produced, crossed from north to south by the local railway.
The intensity of color is due to the very short maceration time of the musts on the skins, from 2 to 4 hours.

Le Rotaie is presented in the glass with a pale pink color, delicate, elegant also in the perfume, it gives intense floral scents with notes of rose and strawberry. Soft, fresh and persistent on the palate.

It is an eclectic wine, the aromas, the taste-olfactory consistency and the marked freshness make it incredibly versatile: less astringent and more structured than white wines, less tannic and more delicate than red wines.

Le Rotaie opens up a world of gastronomic opportunities in the glass, ranging from aperitifs to soups and fish main courses, passing through slightly seasoned cheeses and even white meat dishes.
