Here, the vineyards, cultivated in \u003cstrong\u003ealberello\u003c\/strong\u003e and with an average age of about 80 years, are located at 650 meters above sea level, an altitude that favors slow ripening and sharper aromatic profiles. The result is a wine that accurately reflects the territory, maintaining balance between intensity, tension, and drinkability. The 2014 vintage emphasizes a classic and measured style, designed to enhance the identity of the cru and the purity of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows an elegant and multifaceted profile, with a ruby red color that can evolve towards more garnet tones over time. On the nose, sensations of small red fruits, dried flowers, fine spices, and mineral nuances emerge, typical of great Etna reds. On the palate, it is savory, fresh, and harmonious, with tannins present but well integrated and a structure capable of providing depth without heaviness. The finish is long, linear, and consistent with the style of Nerello Mascalese, more focused on finesse than power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeudo di Mezzo Etna Rosso DOC Altamora 2014 Cusumano\u003c\/strong\u003e naturally accompanies red meats that are not too fatty, roasts, oven-baked lamb, dishes with mushrooms, light game, and medium-intensity aged cheeses.
