Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

From Sicily, a full-bodied dry red that shows ripe dark fruit, spices and an intriguing hint of salinity. Enjoy with savoury appetizers, such as olives and Prosciutto.
Tasted Oct. 2016

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Full-bodied and rich with aromas of plum, blackberry, leather and spice. Grippy tannins with a long, dark fruit finish. Great value wine! Pair with red meats or grilled pork. October 02, 2016.

Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Nero d'Avola is a grape variety indigenous to Sicily. Cusumano crafts a wine that is velvety-smooth, full of ripe cherry and blackberry, leather and herbal notes and graphite-dry tannins. Pretty cool and great value.

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Medium-plus purple. Ripe dark fruit aroma with a hint of spices. Medium body with medium-low tannins and long acidity. Fruity dry wine which will pair weel with pork.

Mika rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Full bodied and smooth, very pleasant to drink for the price! Surprised it was so good.
