The viticultural company Cusumano is divided into 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; it is the first estate of the new era. Here grow Insolia, Chardonnay, and Pinot Nero;
- The Tenuta San Giacomo, at 400m asl, dedicated to Nero d'Avola. Here, a strong temperature variation between day and night ensures the grapes maintain high acidity;
- The Tenuta Presti e Pegni, located 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 grape 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 grape variety, which in this estate manages to bring out natural freshness and sapidity that enhance its character, elegance, and ageing potential.
