Cusumano Sicilia IGT "Benuara" 2006 |
|
This blend of Nero d'Avola and Syrah combines the best known Sicilian indigenous red with the refinement of an international varietal, and a judicious amount of oak. The end result is an unforgetable combination of: a floral perfume, thick red and black fruit, medium to full-bodied structure, and a well integrated oak finish. Benuara is the name of the local red wildflower pictured on the label. |
