IGT Terre Siciliane, Lucido, Cusumano - 2024

Provenance: Sicily
Appellation: IGT Terre Siciliane
Domain: Cusumano
Grape variety(ies): Cataratto Extra Lucido
Alcohol degree: 12%

Bright straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose immediately seduces with notes of fresh pineapple and ripe banana, soon joined by hints of candied citrus and a subtle floral touch. The palate is lively, full-bodied and supple, carried by an invigorating freshness that gives it momentum. The long, slightly salty finish prolongs the pleasure with a sensation of sunshine and Mediterranean indulgence. James Suckling: 91/100

Technique

Viticulture

A more acidic variety than traditional Catarratto. It owes its name to the shiny appearance of the grape's surface and is characterised by a more pronounced acidity than the more common Catarratto.

Oenology

After being harvested by hand, the grapes undergo maceration at low temperatures. The free-run juice, extracted by gentle pressing, then ferments at a controlled temperature of between 18 and 20°C. The wine is then aged for four months on fine lees in stainless steel vats, before being refined in the bottle to perfect its balance and texture.
