Red Wine Susumaniello I.G.P. Salento

Flaminio is the interpretation that the Vallone family gives to native vineyards. The line takes its name from the historic Flaminio vineyards from which they are produced, and which are located on an ancient Messapian settlement on the outskirts of San Pietro Vernotico.

This is our ever-evolving tradition. Intense colors and fruity aromas. Generous yet approximate vine at a young age due to its productive exuberance. As they ripen, the overabundance of production suddenly disappears, giving space to grapes capable of expressing olfactory complexity with notes of leather and Mediterranean scrub.
