Made from \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, this wine from the Sicilian lands expresses a structured, rich and powerful profile. On the palate, its intensity is balanced by refined elegance and a distinct volcanic character. It is recommended to allow adequate aeration before serving to enhance its pairing with flavourful dishes based on red meats, pork and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the northern slope of Mount Etna, specifically from Castiglione di Sicilia. This wine is born from old vines planted in the mid-twentieth century, situated on steep terraces facing south-southwest, between 750 and 780 metres above sea level. The soils, composed mainly of \u003cstrong\u003esandy clay\u003c\/strong\u003e, define the deep identity of this territory. The specific geographical position, characterised by ideal exposure to sun and winds, promotes environmentally friendly viticulture, giving the glass the authentic \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic character\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process involves destemming and gentle crushing of the bunches. Fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to the use of a pied-de-cuve of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a long maceration on the skins for about fifty days. This extraction technique allows for a solid and profound structure. Ageing continues in \u003cstrong\u003eneutral fibreglass vats\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, a choice dictated by the desire to preserve the purity of the fruit and the essence of the territory without the addition of tertiary aromas. A further eighteen months of bottle ageing allows the wine to achieve a perfect balance between power and expressive precision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Munjebel Rosso MC Monte Colla reflects Frank Cornelissen's uncompromising approach. This exceptional cru originates from \u003cstrong\u003eold vineyards dating back to 1946\u003c\/strong\u003e located on the steep sandy clay terraces in Castiglione di Sicilia. Celebrated as the true “Hermitage” of Etna, the wine enhances the power of \u003cstrong\u003epure Nerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e, balancing it with extraordinary grace. Minimal intervention viticulture preserves the profound \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic essence of the territory\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering an elegant sip that fully respects natural cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frank Cornelissen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44759879450795,"sku":"54496","price":74.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/frank-cornelissen-munjebel-rosso-mc-monte-colla-2021_54496_1_3b490e29-e037-4433-97d4-e5eba12efee9.webp?v=1773746802","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/frank-cornelissen-munjebel-rosso-mc-monte-colla-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
