Cusamano
The main assets of Cusumano include 140 hectares of family vineyards set in specific, diverse areas according to microclimatic conditions throughout Sicily; the constant study of the soil aimed at finding the best varieties to be chosen for their specific features; and the continuous research from grape growing to winemaking area. Knowledge of the soils, the constant monitoring of the vines, and the appropriate balance between production and cultivation are always taken into account. Alberto and Diego Cusumano have spearheaded a renaissance in Sicilian wines, garnering international interest in the unique wines from this region.
“Muscular, ripe, supple. Made from Sicily’s most important red grape Nero d’Avola, it has a smoky and muscular character with a confiture of sun-ripened black fruits, espresso, grilled meats and spice. Brooding is an apt descriptor overall; it is toasted and earthy, dense and ripe. Sweet black fruit and sarsaparilla lift the palate, it enters with an attractive suppleness and trails powdery skin tannins. Expect great structure and excellent acidity to add levity.” – Daenna Van Mulligen, The Wine Diva, April 19th, 2017
