Salealto 2020 Tenuta Ficuzza

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 imagined how the wine drunk by the King could have been, and after a few years of experimentation Salealto 2018 was born; a "vin du terroir" obtained from Insolia, Grillo and Zibibbo in equal parts, vinified separately and then refined together. A precious and exclusive wine, the first white wine to be produced using our own yeasts, with them also being a result of a long research.

Sustainable wine. Cusumano is certified SOStain and VIVA.
