Lemon curd, meyer lemon, blood orange, white pepper, fresh fennel and swiss cheese on the nose. Medium intensity of aromas. It smells subtle and elegant. The palate is pretty different. It's more primary; showing navel orange, ripe green melon, ripe white peach and wet stone. A little bit of the cheese, too. Sadly loses the fennel; but gains some intensity. Call it medium + intensity of flavors.
Medium + body with medium acid and a medium finish. Drink now, approaching age 4. Excellent pairing with grilled swordfish.

Limone vulcanico e vaniglia con solo 12.5 gradi. Per me è più un vino da crostacei che da pollo grigliato. Su mazzancolle o aragosta dovrebbe essere la morte sua. Zero alcool percepito.

I'm a relatively new convert to Etna Bianco wines and have generally been quite impressed by the quality and the interest of the Carricante grape varietal. The grip and acidity seems to work well with volcanic soils. The Cusumano Alta Mora 2020 shows the spiky, very mineral flavors well and does a good job highlighting the strengths of a middling vintage. Can be served a bit warmer than usual for an Etna Bianco without losing structure.

Moderate yellow in color. Lemon and vanilla the nose. Lemon, peach and mineral flavors on palate. Nice wine.
