WINE DESCRIPTION

Cusumano Insolia is a white wine produced by Cusumano, a renowned winery in Sicily, Italy. The grapes are grown in the vineyards located in the western part of the island, where the warm Mediterranean climate and the mineral-rich soil create ideal conditions for the Insolia grape variety. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and aromatic, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of minerality. Cusumano Insolia is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes, and it is a great choice for those who appreciate a well-balanced and elegant white wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cusumano Insolia is a bright and fresh expression of the Mediterranean island of Sicily.Its pale yellow color and citrusy aromas lead to a crisp, medium-bodied palate of lemon, green apple and tropical fruit flavors. The finish is long, with a lingering hint of almond. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with a variety of seafood or poultry dishes.
