🍷 Francavilla & Susumaniello Set – Apulia Without Compromise
Three wines, two varieties, one region. Apulia at full strength,from fresh white elegance to deep, velvety red wines.
This set is built around the forgotten local variety Francavilla and the iconic Susumaniello —exactly as winemaker Simone Santoro intends them: authentic, with minimal intervention and maximum character.
🥂 Francavilla White
Fresh yet full-bodied, with aromas of exotic fruit, grapefruit, and delicate herbs. The palate is harmonious, juicy, and long. An ideal introduction to Francavilla.
🟠 Francavilla Orange
Structure, depth, and elegance. An orange wine with pronounced texture and notes of dried fruit, citrus peel, and subtle spice. A wine to drink slowly and with attention.
🍷 Susumaniello Reserva
The flagship. Lightly dried grapes, long maceration, and two years in French tonneaux. Velvety and concentrated, with notes of wild berries, cherry jam, and spice. A wine for an evening when you want quiet and time.
Who is this set for?
For those who want to understand Apulia in depth. For lovers of authenticity, structure, and wines with a story.
Food pairing:
Fish and Mediterranean cuisine with the White, cheeses and Asian cuisine with the Orange, and red meat—or a quiet evening without food—with the Susumaniello.
This set is not a universal crowd-pleaser, and that is precisely why it works. 🍷

The Simone Santoro winery grows from the roots of the Melillo family, which has cared for vineyards and olive trees in Francavilla Fontana in sunny Salento since 1833. Each generation carried forward respect for the land, nature and tradition, and these foundations still support the wines you can find in our e-shop today.
At the heart of the story is NOSCIA, a wine whose name carries what matters most: NOSTRA, ours. Our land, our family, our history. Simone Santoro decided to return to the forgotten local variety Francavilla and give it new life. It was a journey of searching, study and humility. After years came the first bottle: fresh, mineral, with notes of mango, passion fruit and thyme. NOSCIA Francavilla Bianco became a wine that tells a story of history. Today NOSCIA also has an orange version: deeper, more structured and elegant, currently awarded Best Orange Wine of Italy 2025. Together with red wines such as Primitivo, Negroamaro and Susumaniello aged in French oak barrels, it forms a collection that combines the power of southern Italy with the finesse of traditional work.
Every grape is harvested by hand. Simone Santoro works with minimal sulfites and maximum respect for nature. He believes wine is not just a drink, but a story, and NOSCIA is the story of our home, our roots and our love of wine.
