Cusora Cabernet Sauvignon Sicilia DOC 75 cl
Cusora Cabernet Sauvignon Sicilia DOC by Caruso e Minini is a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from Sicily. The grapes grow on calcareous slopes east of Marsala, where warm days, cooler nights and good air circulation encourage slow, aromatic ripening. The wine matures for 8 months in French oak casks and combines dark fruit, spicy nuances, delicate toasted notes and a clearly defined, structured style. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby-red colour. The nose reveals a compact, layered bouquet with ripe blackcurrant and blackberry notes, accompanied by spicy hints, subtle toasted aromas and a touch of tobacco. On the palate, it is fruit-forward and structured, with fine-grained, velvety tannins, balanced acidity and a precise finish marked by dark fruit and spicy nuances.
