Noa Sicilia red IGT Cusumano

Noa Sicilia Rosso IGT is a wine produced by the Cusumano winery, one of the most renowned in Sicily. This wine is an emblem of the Sicilian territory, particularly of the Partinico area, located in the province of Palermo. The Partinico area is characterized by a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot, dry summers. The soils are predominantly clay and limestone, ideal for vine cultivation. These climatic and geological conditions help give Noa Sicilia Rosso IGT wine its unique characteristics. Noa Sicilia Rosso IGT is a blend of three grapes: Nero d'Avola, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Nero d'Avola is a native Sicilian grape variety, which gives the wine its structure and distinctive character. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, on the other hand, are international grape varieties that add complexity and depth to the wine. The production process of Noa Sicilia Rosso IGT begins with the harvest, which is done manually between late August and early September. The grapes are then destemmed and fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 12 months. Finally, the wine is bottled and allowed to rest for an additional 6 months before release. The result is an intense and complex red wine with notes of ripe red fruit, spices and chocolate. In the mouth it is full, smooth and persistent, with well-integrated tannins. It is a wine that pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game and aged cheeses.
