Under the name Askos, Li Veli summarises a project in which long-forgotten, indigenous grape varieties are rediscovered and cultivated on the ideal terroir selected for them. The red Susumaniello grape is said to originate from the nearby Dalmatian coast and is one of the most exciting grape varieties in Puglia today, even though it is rarely vinified as a single variety.

The Susumaniello Askos is a solid red wine with a rich bouquet of red cherries, plums, dark spices and red earth. These warm flavours combine with a medium intensity and full, round fruit to create an extroverted style that is both soft and pleasantly fruity. Tradition meets modernity - very successful! SUPERIORE.DE

"A fresh, chewy red, offering a brambly mix of mulberry and black raspberry fruit, dried sage and thyme, smoke, vanilla and milled pepper. Medium-bodied, with its light, pleasing plumpness carrying the profile on the finish." Wine Spectator
