Alta Mora Etna Rosso 'Feudo di Mezzo' 2019
Vintage Character
The 2019 vintage of Alta Mora Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo, hailing from the Etna Rosso DOC on Sicily’s northern slopes, is a striking expression of Nerello Mascalese from the renowned Feudo di Mezzo cru. The year was characterized by a warm, stable summer and cool nights, fostering wines with exceptional freshness and clarity of fruit.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with an enticing bouquet of wild cherry, dried rose petals, crushed herbs, and delicate notes of volcanic ash. On the palate, it is vibrant and polished, with silky tannins supporting flavors of red currant, blood orange, and savory Mediterranean spice. The finish is persistent and mineral-driven, echoing the wine’s volcanic origins. For food pairings, it shines alongside grilled lamb chops, Sicilian caponata, or a wedge of aged pecorino, each complementing its refined structure and aromatic complexity.
Winery Background
Alta Mora is the Etna-focused project of the Cusumano family, a leading name in Sicilian wine. Their commitment to single-vineyard bottlings is evident in the Feudo di Mezzo site, where vines are planted at elevations ranging from approximately 600 to 800 meters above sea level on mineral-rich, ancient lava soils. The estate emphasizes sustainable viticulture, low yields, and meticulous hand harvesting to ensure that each wine authentically reflects the unique terroir of Mount Etna. Alta Mora’s approach highlights the finesse and aromatic intensity possible from Nerello Mascalese grown in these challenging, high-altitude conditions, making their wines a benchmark for the region.
