SUSUMANIELLO Oltreme' Brindisi DOC -Tenute Rubino

Grape variety: Susumaniello

Tasting Notes
A vibrant and elegant red wine from Puglia, “Oltremé” is made from 100% Susumaniello, one of the native grape varieties of the Brindisi area. It shows a deep ruby-red colour with subtle violet reflections. The nose is fresh and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe red and dark berries, cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy notes such as cinnamon and white pepper. On the palate, Oltremé is fresh, savoury and pleasantly rounded, with juicy fruit character, soft, well-integrated tannins and a subtle mineral quality. Its lively style and clean, persistent finish make it an approachable expression of Susumaniello. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel, allowing the character and freshness of the grape to remain at the forefront.

Food Pairing
A versatile red wine that works beautifully with flavourful Mediterranean and Italian dishes.

Perfect with: Orecchiette with tomato sauce. Stuffed aubergines and peppers. Porcini mushroom risotto. Roasted meats. Cold cuts and charcuterie. Medium-aged cheeses. Rich vegetarian dishes. 

Tenute Rubino specifically recommends Oltremé with savoury dishes, tomato-based pasta, mushroom risotto, cold cuts, medium-ripe cheeses and roasts.

Why We Selected It
We selected Oltremé for its fresh, modern expression of Susumaniello. Rather than being an overly heavy or jammy Puglian red, it offers a more balanced and approachable style, combining ripe fruit, gentle spice, savoury minerality and soft tannins. Its Brindisi DOC origin and native Susumaniello character make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to discover one of Puglia's distinctive indigenous varieties.
