Saia, its name taken from the Arab word for the irrigation canals built centuries ago to collect rainwater, is made with 100 percent Nero d’Avola, an extraordinary grape capable of producing intense, full bodied wines. The alberello method of cultivation and the aging in French oak make it a wine that stands alone in its category.
| “This is a dark, plump and exuberant expression of Sicily’s mighty Nero d’Avola grape with a long delivery of ripe fruit to keep your attention.” Wine Advocate 91/100 |
| “Full body, firm and silky tannins and a polished and caressing finish. Lovely length and texture. One of the best ever from here.” James Suckling 94/100 |

90Feudo Maccari’s challenge continues, the climb to absolute quality of Sicilian wine has a stage among whites, not any one, of course, but a great interpreter of classic island grapevines, always faithful and versatile companion of many styles and names. A pure Grillo then, that bewitches for the ability to speak an ancient language, archaic in some ways, in a totally contemporary version.
| "A zesty white, fleshy, with a clean, juicy finish." Wine Spectator 87/100 |
| "A dense and fruity grillo with dried mango and cooked pear character. Full body and flavorful." James Suckling 90/100 |

Oreno 2016

93Oreno, wich takes its name from the river that crosses the estate and the hamiet where the farmhouse is found, is the estate’s flagship wine. Fruit of the blend of Merlot structure and Cabernet Sauvignon class, brought together with the elegance of Petit Verdot, it expresses best the potential of the territory and the Moretti Cuseri family’s idea of wine.
| "Takes you on a long journey and shows you its true character." James Suckling 99/100 |
| "Focused,broad-shouldered and supple, with a solid structure converging on the finish." Wine Spectator 93/100 |
