Alta Mora

Alta Mora began in April 2013, when brothers Diego and Alberto Cusumano and their father Francesco acquired vineyards in three districts on Mount Etna’s northern slopes. Early work at Guardiola included rebuilding the traditional dry-stone walls that hold the volcanic terraces.

Its underground winery uses lava and other natural materials to insulate the cellar and protect the wines from light. Grapes are picked by hand and softly pressed.
