Cusumano Nero d'Avola 2011

The Cusumano winery was established in 2001, when brothers Alberto and Diego, took over the management of the company from their father, Francesco. From day one, the philosophy behind Cusumano has been to emphasize the importance of terroir knowledge, investment in innovative technology, and above all, passion for winemaking. 

With the help of an intimate knowledge of the Sicilian terrain and consultant winemaker Mario Ronco, the Cusumano wines are made with 100% estate grown fruit from 4 different territories throughout Sicily, many with grapes that are indigenous to Sicily such as Nero d’Avola and Insolia. The Cusumano family is committed to creating wines that showcase these distinct regions, resulting in the brand becoming the #1 Sicilian wine in the US with 90+ ratings year over year. They were also among the first to adopt innovative glass stoppers, which are easy to open, re-usable and keep the wine fresh.

"Wine, just like people, shows a distinct personality when put it in the right context. That’s why we have travelled all around Sicily in search of the most suitable lands for diverse and high-quality viticulture. The extraordinary variety our land offers is a gift we welcome with devotion and transform into experience. Diversity is a virtue which we cultivate and share with passion." -Diego Cusumano
