Etna with the volume turned all the way up – that’s how best to describe the Munjabel Rosso from Frank Cornelissen. The fruit comes from his best crus, off vines that are left to nature with no terracing, or rows to speak of.

The Munjebel wines sit firmly on the list of wines you must try in your life, this season it is so becoming, a rich and fragrant wine of pure Nerello Mascalese from different vineyards, partly from the best parcels where he produces the crus (Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo, Feudo di Mezzo-sottana and Porcaria) as well as designated vineyards for this specific wine (Rampante sottana, Piano Daini and Crasà). A classic, traditional Nerello Mascalese with tannins and sweetness of ripe fruit. The region in a glass. You can see it deep in its core.

Frank Cornellissen is a very famous producer in the Mt. Etna region of Sicily. His wines celebrate the incredible provenance that is the volcano and surrounds.
