Description and technical sheet
Cusumano's 2024 Insolia showcases the fresh, aromatic character of a traditional Sicilian white grape. Made entirely from 100% Insolia, also known as Inzolia, this Terre Siciliane IGT combines expressive fruit, delicate floral notes and a precise, balanced palate. Stainless-steel production allows the grape's natural character to emerge without oak influence.
The grape and the hills of western Sicily
The grapes are associated with hillside vineyards in western Sicily, inland from Palermo, in the area of Ficuzza and Piana degli Albanesi. The elevation and gradual ripening help retain aromatic freshness. The winery's technical information for this wine describes approximately 4,500 vines per hectare and yields around 65 hectolitres per hectare.
Winemaking and maturation
Production begins with brief cold skin contact for approximately eight hours at 8°C, followed by gentle pressing and cold settling. Fermentation takes place under controlled conditions at approximately 18–20°C. The wine then rests on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks for at least four months, followed by further maturation in bottle. This approach preserves fruit and freshness while bringing balance and texture.
Tasting profile, serving and pairings
The colour is light straw yellow. Expect aromas of apple, citrus fruit and white blossom; a review of the 2024 vintage also notes lemon, lime and fresh almond. The palate is fresh, harmonious and lively, with white-fleshed fruit and a subtle savoury finish. Pair with fish starters, shellfish, seafood pasta, grilled fish, delicate poultry or fresh cheeses, or enjoy as an aperitif. Serve at 8–10°C.
