Sàgana Sicilia Rosso Igt Cusumano

Sàgana Sicilia Rosso IGT is a wine produced by the Cusumano winery, one of the most renowned in Sicily. This wine is an excellent example of how Sicilian terroir can give birth to wines of great character and personality. Sàgana is mainly produced from Nero d'Avola grapes, the most important and widespread grape variety in Sicily. These grapes grow in vineyards located in the San Giacomo area, in the territory of Partinico, in the province of Palermo. This area is characterized by a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, and predominantly clay and limestone soils that are ideal for growing vines. The production process of Sàgana begins with the harvest, which usually takes place in late September. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected to ensure the highest quality of the final product. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and the resulting must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 14 months. This aging process gives the wine a firm and complex structure, with notes of ripe fruit, spices and chocolate. After aging in barriques, the wine is bottled and allowed to rest for an additional 6 months before release. Sàgana Sicilia Rosso IGT Cusumano is a wine of great structure and intensity, with a rich and complex aromatic bouquet. It pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game and aged cheeses.
