DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Alta Mora is the Etna project of the Cusumano family of Sicily. The vineyards sit around Castiglione di Sicilia on the northern slope of Mount Etna, at about 800 meters, in the contrade Verzella, Feudo di Mezzo, Guardiola and Solicchiata, on black volcanic soil.
The wine is 100% Nerello Mascalese, Etna's own red grape, picked by hand in October. It ferments for about twelve days in stainless steel and then rests six months in large 25-hectoliter oak casks, so the oak stays in the background. The 2023 is bright ruby, with violets, red cherries, cassis, spice and Mediterranean herbs on the nose. The palate is fresh and mineral, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a salty finish. People often compare Nerello to Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo, and you can see why.
Serve at 60 to 65°F in a large Burgundy glass. Try it with grilled lamb with rosemary and garlic, mushroom pizza or pasta, or medium-aged cheeses.
Vinous: 91 points.
