Very old vineyards situated in Tenuta Presti e Pegni in Monreale at 300m above sea level behind Palermo birth Cusumano’s Super-Sicilian. The power of indigenous grape Nero d’Avola (40%) meet the roundness of Merlot (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) to bridge Sicilian tradition and new-world styling.

“This wine pours from the bottle with an inky black appearance and an intense concentration of aromas and flavors. The Cusumano brothers have hit the bull’s-eye with this beautiful wine in terms of its power, complexity and smooth integration. The bouquet starts off with Morello cherry, dried blackberry, spice and bitter chocolate. As the wine opens in the glass, it unleashes granite, smoke and licorice.” 94 points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
