WINE DESCRIPTION
Frank Cornelissen MunJebel PA Rosso is a unique and highly sought-after wine produced by renowned natural winemaker Frank Cornelissen. The wine is made in Sicily's Mount Etna region, where the volcanic soils and high-altitude vineyards produce exceptional grapes. The MunJebel PA Rosso is made using traditional winemaking methods, including extended maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The grapes are selected from a single Cru, Porcaria in Contrade Feudo di Mezzo, located on the northern slope of Mount Etna. The resulting wine is complex and delicate. The wine is unfiltered and unfined, and is bottled without sulfur, resulting in a wine that is both natural and delicious. It is a perfect example of the natural wine movement, which emphasizes minimal intervention in the winemaking process.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Frank Cornelissen MunJebel PA Rosso is an intense and complex wine, full of character and personality.On the nose, it has aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry, and raspberry, with subtle hints of menthol, licorice, and dried herbs. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, with a rich, deep flavor profile of dark fruit, herbs, and a hint of leather and earthiness. The tannins are well-integrated, and the finish is smooth, long, and satisfying. This is an outstanding wine that will age gracefully for years to come.
