Description
What kind of wine is it
Sumarè Rosato Brut by Tenute Rubino is an elegant sparkling wine made using the Traditional Method that fully expresses the character of Susumaniello. In the glass, it displays a bright salmon pink hue, enlivened by a very fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet offers delicate floral and fruity notes, enriched over time by elegant spicy and fragrant hints. On the palate, it is intense and dynamic, driven by a pronounced acidity that culminates in remarkable persistence of flavour. This taut and savoury profile makes it ideal for pairing with flavourful shellfish, seafood soups, refined carpaccios and medium-aged cheeses.
Where does it come from
This sparkling wine originates in Apulia, in the renowned Jaddico-Giancòla area near Brindisi. The vineyards stretch almost at sea level, with roots sinking into sandy soil that imparts a deep mineral tension to the grapes. The rows are trained using the spur-pruned cordon system, ensuring perfect agronomic balance with controlled yields. The rigorous manual harvest takes place at the beginning of September, with the bunches placed in small crates to preserve their complete integrity. This meticulous care in the vineyard allows the native grape variety to reveal its excellent natural aptitude for sparkling wine production.
How is it produced
The vinification process begins with primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The base wine then undergoes slow refermentation in the bottle according to the rules of the Traditional Method. Maturation involves a long ageing on the lees for at least forty-two months, a key stage that enhances aromatic complexity and refines the texture of the sip. The final result is a Brut dosage that respects the original freshness of the fruit, delivering a wine that is both satisfying to drink and technically precise.
History and Curiosities
Born from the dedication of Tenute Rubino, Sumarè Rosato Brut celebrates the authentic soul of Susumaniello, an ancient Apulian grape variety. The grapes, hand-picked in the Brindisi area, are expertly processed according to the traditional method, maturing on the lees for at least 42 months. This meticulous process gives this VSQ an extremely fine perlage and a bright salmon pink colour. On tasting, it reveals an intense freshness and pronounced acidity, enhanced by floral and spicy notes that lead to an exceptionally long taste persistence.

Both the traditions of Salento and a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit have been passed down from Tommaso to his son, Luigi, who has since taken over with the support of his wife, Romina. Luigi has undertaken this entrepreneurial legacy, pouring all of his passion into the family’s winery and making it a global ambassador of Apulian viticulture.
After all, winemaking is an ancient art here in Jaddico: over the years, archaeologists have brought to light a Roman manor house filled with kilns, where Visellio—the owner of the estate—fired the amphorae used to export his wine to the four corners of the Roman Empire. At the time, this land was home to extensive vineyards and served as an important manufacturing center for wine containers.
