Benuara Cusumano
In the lands of the town of Pachino, where a small flower typical of the Mediterranean area grows, Nero d'Avola and Syrah quality grapes are cultivated.
Their blending gives life to the Benuara, a wine with a strong body, a winy fragrance with the scent of wild fruits and a full-bodied taste.
This fresh blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah opens with a ripe raspberry note, and it shows a soft, plush texture and a chewy close. It has a ripe blackberry flavor, with a smooth, creamy texture.
