WINE DESCRIPTION

Cusumano Syrah is a premium wine produced by the Cusumano family in Sicily, Italy. The grapes are grown in the hills of San Giacomo, an appellation known for its ideal climate and soil conditions for Syrah. The vineyard features a combination of clay and limestone soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and rich Syrah, with notes of black fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. Cusumano Syrah is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and flavorful wine with a touch of elegance.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cusumano Syrah is an intriguingly complex and elegant expression of the grape.On the nose, expect aromas of smoked meat, dark spices, and earthy blackberry, with hints of violet, cocoa, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is silky and smooth, with a bright and juicy acidity, and a lingering finish of peppercorn and dark cherry. The tannins are well integrated, and the overall impression is one of finesse and balance. Enjoy with a slow-cooked lamb or beef dish.
