Susumaniello, whose name is a reference to its productivity (literally it means "loading up the donkey" or something close to that), has been around for years, but has only recently come into prominence in Puglia, especially in monovarietal wines.

Aromas of apples and pears practically leap out of the glass. Sweet, almost syrupy ripe pears and Honeycrisp apples make up the palate.
