The Merlot from the Sicilian winery Cusumano is a red wine suitable for everyday convivial occasions. With the line of monovarietals, the winery wanted to enhance the vines for their essence by working them in purity and maintaining an excellent quality/price ratio. The brief refinement in steel tanks allows the characteristic aromas of red pulp fruit to be expressed: in fact, we find clear aromas of cherry, plum and berries. The sip is pleasant, soft and smooth, ending with a finish of medium persistence
