Alta Mora Etna Bianco 2023
Vintage Character
The 2023 vintage of Alta Mora Etna Bianco DOC is a striking example of Sicily’s volcanic terroir, crafted exclusively from 100% Carricante grapes grown on the slopes of Mount Etna. Benefiting from a warm and balanced growing season marked by abundant sunshine and cool nighttime temperatures, the wines of this vintage display vibrant acidity and expressive fruit character.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 91 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Etna Bianco opens with enticing aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and wild herbs, complemented by a subtle mineral smokiness that is emblematic of Etna’s volcanic soils. The palate is crisp and focused, revealing layers of lemon zest, white peach, and saline nuances, all wrapped in a silky texture and culminating in a refreshing, invigorating finish. Its versatility makes it an excellent match for grilled octopus, Sicilian-style swordfish, or creamy goat cheese, perfectly suited to Mediterranean cuisine.
Winery Background
Alta Mora is the Etna-focused project of the Cusumano family, a respected name in Sicilian winemaking known for their commitment to expressing the island’s diverse terroirs. Established with the goal of showcasing the singular character of Etna’s high-altitude vineyards, Alta Mora cultivates ancient bush vines in mineral-rich volcanic soils at elevations reaching up to 1,000 meters. The estate employs sustainable vineyard practices and minimal intervention in the cellar, emphasizing indigenous varieties such as Carricante to create wines that are both authentic and modern. By blending traditional methods with innovative techniques, Alta Mora highlights the unique beauty and complexity of Mount Etna, producing wines that capture the essence of this extraordinary region.
