“A fantastic bargain deal, the Susumaniello Askos offers a great taste of one of Puglia's break-out indigenous grapes. The variety with the singsongy name delivers loads of luscious red fruit with cherry and blueberry in pole position. Askos sees nine months of oak and those added notes of spice, tobacco and leather are well integrated within the greater fleshiness of the grape. The finish shows light touches of cola, balsam herb and licorice. If you've never tried Susumaniello, Askos is a great place to start.” Robert Parker 91
