Alta Mora Etna Rosso · Mount Etna · 2023
Alta Mora is the Cusumano family’s project on the slopes of Mount Etna, where Nerello Mascalese, an indigenous Sicilian grape, grows in the mountain’s dark volcanic soils. The variety’s combination of vivid fruit, firm tannins and lively acidity has drawn comparisons to Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir.

Expert Review · 2022 Vintage
Wine Enthusiast 92 points (2022 vintage): The cool, fresh, floral nose swirls with aromas of violets, lilacs, crushed rocks, earth, herbs, and blackberries. Figs lift a sweet, ripe blackberry element on the palate, while an undertone of salted dark chocolate and hints of chili pepper heat keep you on your toes. Tannins provide structure throughout.

"The 2021 Etna Rosso is quite pretty, with a fresh blend of dried roses, black cherries and clove. It's round and soothing in nature with lifted textures and crisp wild berry fruits. Tapering off with a lovely tension, the 2021 finishes with lingering hints of dried strawberry and citrus."
