Reviews and Ratings

Shelley Harris rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied red, full of berry and spice overtones and a hint of pepper. Smooth and well-balanced. Paired well with barbecued butterflied lamb roast that had been marinated in garlic and Dijon mustard.
Alan Dunne rated this wine as 87/100
James Belardo rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Cusumano is one of Sicily's most popular wine exports and for good reason. Their Syrah is an example of a very pleasant tasting inexpensive wine. It has qualities that make it great everyday wine even if it's not one their premiere products. It's also wonderful for cooking since it's full-bodied and flavorful. If it weren't for my love for the Nero D'Avola grape, this Syrah would find it's way to my glass much more often!

pasta arrabiata, grilled & roasted meats, BBQ favourites, antipasto, grilled vegetables and cheeses.

Spicy berry aromas. Medium to full bodied wine displaying flavours of berries, cassis & spice.
