Description

Salealto traces the history of King Ferdinand IV of Bourbon and the Real Casina di Caccia of Ficuzza. In this place, in 1800, the sovereign kept his own wine, produced with grapes from vineyards located in the surroundings of our Ficuzza estate. We imagiined how the wine drunk by the King could have been, and after a few years of experimentation Salealto was born; a "vin du terroir" obtained from Insolia, Grillo and Zibibbo in equal parts, vinified separately and then regined together.

  • Hectares: 520
Cusumano's wines come from premium sites all over Sicily, and are produced at the Partinico (straight west of Palermo) based family winery by third generation winemakers and brothers Diego and Alberto Cusumano. They craft wines of the ‘new’ Sicily typified by outstanding varietal expression, rich flavors, and a sensuality that could only be born under the Sicilian sun. Wine insiders have long predicted that Sicily would one day become Europe’s dominant wine region. The sheer number of prime vineyard sites available, the diversity of microclimates and soils throughout the island, make it possible for Sicilian winemakers to work not only with exciting native varietals, but also with many international grapes. Cusumano is the pre-eminent producer turning that prediction into reality. Read more
