The viticultural company Cusumano operates across four estates, each with distinct soil characteristics:

- The Tenuta Ficuzza, located in Piana degli Albanesi (PA), consists of vineyards surrounded by the Ficuzza forest at 700 metres above sea level, marking the first estate of the new era. Here grow Insolia, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir;
- The Tenuta San Giacomo, at 400m a.s.l., dedicated to Nero d'Avola. Here, a strong temperature variation between day and night ensures the grapes retain high acidity;
- The Tenuta Presti e Pegni, situated in Monreale on hills where the vineyards are exposed to sunlight from dawn to dusk. As the air cools, a sea breeze arrives from about 10 km away, dissipating the heat. This is home to international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and also Sicily's Syrah.
- The Tenuta Monte Pietroso, locally known as Tramontana. A special setting for Grillo. Here the soil is sandy loam, a loose soil identified as ideal for cultivating this variety, which in this estate expresses natural freshness and salinity that enhance its character, elegance, and ageing potential.
