Natalie's Score: 89/100

The Cusumano family has been making wine for more than 60 years on the southern Italian island of Sicily. Their expertise and craft shows in the glass of this exceptional red wine. Such terrific value! This Italian red wine is made from the Nero d'Avola grape, the iconic red grape of the island of Sicily. Layers of fleshy black (nero) fruit and pepper spice. Pair with grilled meats.

Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A good value, Sicilian IGT, ruby red, declared 14% ABV. Ripe red fruit, savoury herb, tart, balanced, medium fruit, medium acidity, full grippy tannins. Such a juicy red with grippy tannins would pair well with a florentine steak. Tasted 2016 vintage in Oct 2017. Rated 89/100.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
