Description

Etna Rosso Munjebel FM Sottana 2018 Cornelissen

Etna Rosso Munjebel FM Sottana 2018 is a fine Sicilian wine produced by Frank Cornelissen. It is made from pure Nerello Mascalese from old alberello vines over 40 years old from the Sottana vineyard, in the lower part of the Feudo di Mezzo district, at an altitude of 580 m above sea level.

Feudo di Mezzo is a large district, which is why it is better to separate the lower part (sottana) from the upper part (soprana or Porcaria). Although it is located lower down, at the bottom of the valley, the wines produced from grapes grown in this area are characterised by great elegance, so much so that they can be compared to the Pinot Noirs of Burgundy.

No sulphur is added and no clarification or filtration takes place. The Munjebel FM Sottana shows an intense ruby red colour in the glass, while the nose expresses sweet aromas such as ripe fruit and more bitter ones such as dark chocolate or liquorice. The sip is balanced between a nice freshness and sapidity.

REGION: Sicily (Italy)

GRAPES: Nerello Mascalese 100%

CORNELISSEN

Frank Cornelissen is the reference point of Sicilian Etna wine, his natural wines tell the full story of the terroir from which they are born. His production philosophy is based on the non-intervention in the vineyard and in the cellar, for his natural Sicilian wines no additives or sulphur dioxide are used, the fermentation is spontaneous and the vinification takes place in terracotta jars buried in the lava stone.

"Before being good a wine must be true" this is his philosophy, so important that it is engraved at the entrance of his cellar, in the North side of Etna.
