Alta Mora
A brief history
The largest volcano in Europe – symbol of nature’s ardour and an ancient and tenacious viniculture – is the place that brothers Diego and Alberto Cusumano have chosen together with their father Francesco for their new and impassioned challenge: to create wines that express the quality and character of a unique land.
After years of searching, there appeared in April 2013 a unique opportunity to acquire the first three contrade on the northern slopes of Etna. A continually evolving project that began with the reconstruction of the traditional dry stone walls of the terraces of Guardiola – the contrada (district) whose stunning beauty nurtures the underlying motivation and inspiration and whose name is given to the entire project: ALTA MORA.
