Alta Mora is a winery from the Cusumano family where grapes are grown and harvested on the slopes of the active volcano, Mt. Etna, in Sicily. It has been a lifelong dream for the Cusumano brothers to build a winery among these fertile and dynamic soils. The name Alta Mora translates to “Tall, Black” representing the great heights of the vineyards on the mountain and the dark, black volcanic soil. The volcano itself is nearly 11,000 feet high and vineyards are planted up to 4,000 feet.
"An intense, elegant nose of licorice and earthy strawberries with sweet violets and a whiff of cinnamon. Full of delicacy on the palate with light to medium body, crisp acidity and well-knit, velvety tannins. Graphite finish. Drinkable now but will evolve, integrating the oaky aftertaste." - 93 Points, James Suckling
