The Mixed Case of 6 bottles from the selection I Crù brings together two interpretations of Etna Rosso DOC signed by Cusumano: 3 bottles of Feudo di Mezzo 2017 and 3 bottles of Guardiola 2017. It is a proposal designed for those who wish to purchase wine online with a more refined touch, comparing two different expressions from one of the most fascinating wine regions in Italy.

Territory and wine style

Etna is a denomination that combines volcanic energy, elegance, and depth, giving rise to reds with a clear and recognizable personality. This selection highlights the character of Etna Rosso DOC through two crus of Altamora, a reality linked to Cusumano. Feudo di Mezzo and Guardiola represent two complementary interpretations of the same territory, ideal for those seeking mountain wines that are refined and territorial, capable of harmoniously uniting structure and freshness.

Tasting notes

As these are two crus of Etna Rosso, the expected profile is that of wines with a bright ruby color, with nuances that may evolve towards more delicate tones over time. On the nose, sensations of red fruits, fine spices, Mediterranean herbs, and a mineral matrix typical of the volcanic territory generally emerge. On the palate, the sip tends to be smooth yet present, with good freshness, supportive tannins, and a savory and persistent finish. Feudo di Mezzo and Guardiola may differ in nuances of intensity, verticality, and balance, offering an interesting and multifaceted tasting experience.

Recommended pairings

The structure and freshness of Etna Rosso DOC Altamora lend themselves well to flavorful but not excessively fatty dishes. It is ideal with roasted meats, game birds, mushrooms, pasta with ragù, pork tenderloin, medium-aged cheeses, and preparations from Sicilian cuisine. Its elegant imprint also makes it suitable for regional traditional dishes with rich yet balanced seasonings.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the selection, the ideal temperature is 16-18 °C. If possible, it is helpful to open the bottles a little in advance, especially in more evolved vintages, to enhance the aromatic expression and the harmony of the sip.

Why buy it

This mixed case is an interesting choice for those who want to discover two crus of Etna Rosso in a single purchase, with the guarantee of a coherent and passionate style. It is perfect for a comparative tasting, for an important dinner, or to enrich the cellar with wines capable of authentically telling the territory. The Cusumano signature adds reliability and consistency to a proposal with strong appeal for fans of Sicilian wine.
