From this winery
  • Oenologist: Mario Ronco
  • Bottles produced: 100.000
  • Hectares: 44
Since 2013, Alta Mora has brought together under a single brand name the wine production of five Sicilian villages: Pietramarina, Guardiola, Verzella, Feudo di Mezzo and Solicchiata on Mount Etna. All these villages, specially selected by Alta Mora, have important factors in common: an area enriched by lava flows and an altitude between 600 and 900 metres that allows the vines to grow while benefiting from a unique terroir.

Land and tradition are at the core of the philosophical and productive path of Alta Mora, whose award-winning wines are also particularly appreciated by our loyal xtraWine customers.

The wine factory built with typical local materials, such as lava and coccio pesto, ensures a magnificent integration with nature and zero-cost thermoregulation.

The resulting wines embody the characteristics and traits of a unique terroir.
