Alta Mora Etna Bianco 2023
92 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
What makes this Etna Bianco so darn compelling is the extreme terroir and the Cusumano brothers’ deep respect for indigenous varieties. This is 100% Carricante – Sicily’s noble white grape known for its crispness and vibrant minerality – sourced from an informal blend across three prized districts: Arrigo, Verzelle, and Piano dei Daini.
Parker’s Wine Advocate awarded this 92 points, noting that “there is more richness here compared to your standard Etna Bianco” while praising its “waxy aromas of sweet peach and poached pear” with “medium texture and a little extra heft.” But here’s what really validates this wine’s quality: Gambero Rosso awarded it Tre Bicchieri – their highest rating and one of the most coveted honors in all of Italian wine.

92 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The Alta Mora 2023 Etna Bianco is 100% Carricante that is aged in stainless steel on the fine lees for 10 months. The fruit used here represents an informal blend from the Contrade Arrigo, Verzelle and Piano dei Daini. This wine shows a golden straw color with medium texture and a little extra heft from a hot vintage that you feel over the palate. It offers waxy aromas of sweet peach and poached pear. There is more richness here compared to your standard Etna Bianco.
Alta Mora is a fascinating and relatively new project on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, a truly unique and active volcanic wine region.
Launched in 2013 by the Cusumano brothers – two well-known Sicilian winemakers with a long family history – Alta Mora (“High, Black”) represents their passionate endeavor to capture the raw, electrifying essence of Etna’s high-altitude, black volcanic soils.
This isn’t just about making wine; it’s about love and care for indigenous grapes and harnessing the power of nature, as their vineyards are planted at staggering heights (up to 1,000 meters above sea level) on the active volcano’s northern slopes.
