    This powerful blend of Nero d'Avola and Syrah comes from Tenuta Presti e Pegni in Monreale and impressively demonstrates the versatility of Sicilian winemaking. The vineyards thrive at an altitude of 250 metres in the hills behind Palermo, where loamy soils and the Mediterranean microclimate create ideal conditions for international grape varieties. Just ten kilometres from the coast, the vines benefit from the cooling sea breeze, which tempers the heat of the day and ensures balanced ripening. The name Benuara is derived from a small flower that grows near Syracuse – a poetic reference to the southernmost regions of Sicily.

    The 2023 vintage presents itself in a deep ruby red with almost black highlights. The bouquet offers intense aromas of ripe wild berries, heart cherries and cassis, enhanced by spicy notes of liquorice, chocolate and a hint of cedar. On the palate, the full power of this special cuvée comes to the fore: the Nero d'Avola lends Mediterranean fruit richness and Sicilian character, whilst the Syrah provides structure and international elegance. Lively acidity and powerful yet supple tannins create a harmonious balance between power and finesse. A wine that perfectly embodies Cusumano's vision: Sicilian identity paired with a cosmopolitan style. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Rich, dense and plummy, but balanced, with subtle spices. Medium- to full-bodied, with a concentrated mid-palate and a smooth finish." James Suckling

    "The 2023 Benuara bursts from the glass with a lively blend of wild blueberries, blackberries, minty herbs and blood oranges. Its elegant style offers silky textures and ripe red berry fruit, accompanied by a refreshing acidity. Fine-grained tannins frame notes of red plums and citrus, whilst the finish is long and powerful, with a pebbly aftertaste. The Benuara is a blend of equal parts Nero d'Avola and Syrah." Vinous
