Cusumano, Etna Bianco DOC (Sicily, Italy) 2020

May 10, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 The name Alta Mora translates to “High, Black,” representing Mt. Etna’s great heights and dark soils.  This is a beautiful expression of the Sicilian landscape and native Carricante grape.  The 2020 Alta Mora Etna Bianco is intensely aromatic, marked by flavors of green apple, pear, lemon skin, and white flowers, supported by those distinctive flinty mineral notes that speak so clearly of the wine’s volcanic origins.  The palate zings with racy acidity leading to a beautiful saline finish.
