Cusumano Alta Mora Etna Rosso 2015 75cl

Description

Producer :	Cusumano on Etna: New winery, old vineyards - this is how you could describe the project of the two brothers Alberto and Diego Cusumano. And what the two of them get out of the soil and the vines, that is already considered a benchmark in Sicily for modern quality wine growing in Sicily. The brothers have secured 18 hectares of fillet pieces in five different locations on Etna: Guardiola, Feudo Di Mezzo, Solicchiata, Pietramarina and Verzella. The vineyards are from 650 to 1100 meters above sea level. The Cusumanos are Known for their enthusiasm and passion for their home and for being big fans of the indigenous varieties of Sicily. So it is not surprising that at Alta Mora they practically only use the two - naturally indigenous - grape varieties Nerello Mascalese and Carricante are working.
Region:	Of course, the island of Sicily itself belongs to the wine-growing region of Sicily, then Pantelleria and the northern Aeolian Islands. Marsala is probably the most famous wine on the island and is made from the Cataratto variety. The hot and dry climate, the lean soils made of volcanic rock and the many slopes are ideal for winegrowing. Once again it was the Greeks who taught the islanders the craft in ancient times in the 8th century BC. The original Sicilian variety is the Nero d'Avola from the area of ​​the city of Avola. But the Syrah, the Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the white Grillo and Chardonnay are more and more common. It was only in the past 20 years that the bridge to comprehensive quality wine growing was successfully built.
