Frank Cornelissen Munjebel VA Vigne Alte Terre Siciliane Rosso IGT 2021

A red wine from Sicily made from Nerello Mascalese grown on three vineyards over 90 years old. It ferments with indigenous yeasts in contact with the skins for just under two months, then rests for 18 months in fibreglass tanks and ages for a further 18 months in bottle. It suits meat dishes and risotto with chicken livers. Ruby red in colour. The nose opens with small red berries, then undergrowth and pepper, with volcanic and smoky notes. The palate is savoury and slender, vibrant and rightly tannic, with long persistence.
