2018 Frank Cornelissen CR Munjebel Terre Siciliane Organic Red Wine from Sicily

Frank Cornelissen Munjebel Rosso 2018: A Singular Sicilian Expression

Experience the captivating essence of Mount Etna with Frank Cornelissen’s remarkable Munjebel Rosso Campo Re 2018. Crafted from pure Nerello Mascalese grapes grown in Sicily’s volcanic soils, this distinctive red wine embodies artisanal winemaking at its finest.

Sourced exclusively from the challenging Campo Re vineyard (735m altitude) near Randazzo, these ungrafted vines struggle in deep soils that delay ripening in wet years – a testament to the site’s demanding nature and the resulting wine’s unique character. This high-altitude Sicilian red wine delivers profound depth and structure.

Expect a wine built for contemplation and aging:
* Complex & Structured: Presents intense layers of wild red berries, volcanic minerality, and earthy undertones, framed by firm yet refined tannins.
* Distinctly Etnean: Showcases the unique terroir of Mount Etna with its signature elegance and power.
* Age-Worthy Profile: Displays a ‘backward’, almost Nebbiolo-like quality reminiscent of fine Barolo, promising graceful evolution for years to come.
* Natural Purity: Frank Cornelissen’s minimalist approach ensures an authentic expression of grape and place.

At 13.5% alcohol, this profound Nerello Mascalese offers exceptional balance. Ideal for collectors seeking unique Italian wines or enthusiasts exploring complex natural reds from Sicily. Discover why this vintage stands apart – a true expression of place and passion from one of Etna’s most revered producers.
