Cusumano Sicilia IGT "Noa" 2005 |
|
This combination of Nero d’Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is vinified separately and blended to form Cusumano’s serious red for the world market. The blend incorporates the best of Sicily's darker, structured Nero d'Avola and the Cabernet/Merlot evokes something of the French Atlantic coast, making for a lustrously colored, full-bodied red with ample oak on the finish. The name Noa is a nod to the biblical figure. |
