Wines from Sicily: 2012 Cusumano Sàgana Nero d’Avola

Diego and Alberto Cusumano are fierce promoters of Sicily's wines. Firm believers in their land and the wine that it produces, the Cusumano brothers own hundreds of hectares throughout the different regions of Sicily. They produce wines from international varieties but have recently begun to shift towards autochthonous varieties and to push the quality and typicity of these. 

In this video, Diego describes his 2012 Cusumano Sicilia Tenuta San Giacomo Sàgana and what makes it special. The wine was one of James' highest-scoring reds in his recent report on Sicily. The wine is a pure nero d'avola from Butera, a mountainous region in central Sicily where white calcareous soils predominate. Watch the video and learn why Sàgana is one of Sicily's top nero d'avolas.
