The name Sum recalls that of Susumaniello, an ancient vine typical of Puglia that was for a long time on the verge of disappearing but has been fortunately rediscovered and enhanced in recent years. In turn, the term Susumaniello recalls a characteristic of this vine that, especially in its first decade of life, when the plant can still be considered very young, is particularly productive. Left free to grow, in fact, it produces a large quantity of bunches. It loads its branches just like a "donkey". But Sum is above all Felline's homage to this ancient vine. In the glass it is a beautiful deep, particularly deep, ruby red colour. The nose reveals itself first of all fruity, with clear memories of red fruit, but also flowers such as violets and roses. On the palate it is rich and full-bodied. Fruity, smooth and quite alcoholic. A wine that recalls all the warmth and scents of Puglia and that makes us think back to the good old days, when on the roads there were no big noisy trucks but only docile donkeys.
Write Puglia and read Primitivo. Write Primitivo and read "Accademia dei Racemi", a virtuous Apulia project for the valorization of the regional viticulture and of the many native vines, such as Primitivo. A leading role at Accademia dei Racemi is played by Azienda Felline, a historic Apulian company. The name of the winery derives from a vast archaeological area located a few kilometres from Manduria, which is the territory of origin of Primitivo. It is located a few kilometres from the beautiful beaches where legend has it that St. Peter landed on his way to the city of Rome to found the Catholic Church. Since the end of the nineties, Felline - in collaboration with other young and ambitious producers - has contributed to the enhancement of Primitivo, making it today one of the most important companies in the area. They offer a wide range of wines that includes all the typical reds of the region and is completed with interesting sparkling wines, whites and rosés. A good starting point for those who want to know the best of Apulian viticulture, without moving from their living room.
