Tasting note
Ruggero di Bardo's 2015 Susumaniello should carry aromas of black cherry, dark plum and dried herbs, with a peppery accent. This Puglia red is expected to feel full and structured, ripe fruit balanced by firm tannins and a fresh line of acidity. Its projected drinking window ended in 2024, so bottle condition will strongly influence the experience. If the fruit holds, the finish may be mellow, with dried berry, spice and a savory touch.
