WINE DESCRIPTION

Cusumano Alta Mora Guardiola Etna Rosso is a premium red wine produced by the Cusumano family, a well-respected winery located on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy. The wine is made from Nerello Mascalese grapes grown in the estate's Guardiola vineyard, which benefits from the area's unique volcanic soils and high altitude. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including aging in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is medium-bodied and elegant, with notes of red fruit, spice, and a distinctive minerality, making it an ideal choice for pairing with pasta dishes, roasted meats, and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cusumano Alta Mora Guardiola Etna Rosso is a complex and inviting red from Sicily.The nose is filled with aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and dried herbs, while the palate is silky and full-bodied with juicy dark fruit flavors and a hint of earthy spice. The finish is long and lingering with a touch of minerality. Enjoy this wine with roasted meats or aged cheeses.
