Made from Nerello Mascalese grapes, it reveals a deep aromatic profile characterised by \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, medicinal herbs, Mediterranean scrub and citrus peel. On the palate, it is structured and powerful, supported by \u003cstrong\u003efirm tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and an elegant freshness. The \u003cstrong\u003evibrant minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e accompanies a long and savoury finish, perfect for enhancing braised meats, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from Solicchiata, located on the northern slope of Mount Etna. The vineyards are planted on \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soil\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in minerals, at an altitude between 650 and 980 metres. The north and north-east exposure encourages slow and steady ripening of the bunches. The vines, cultivated as \u003cstrong\u003efree-standing bush vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, are \u003cstrong\u003eold vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e over fifty years old, including some rare centenarian plots. The very low yields, the result of short pruning, allow for concentration of aromas and structure in every berry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, a minimal intervention philosophy is followed. The bunches, hand-picked and destemmed, undergo a \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in fibreglass tanks, started by a pied de cuve of indigenous yeasts. This is followed by a \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for about fifty days, managed with careful manual punch-downs. Ageing takes place for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eneutral tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e of fibreglass or epoxy resin, in order to preserve the purest identity of the Nerello Mascalese grape. The wine is finally bottled without any fining.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMunjebel Rosso\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies Frank Cornelissen's authentic vision of the Etna region. The name pays homage to the ancient Arab-Latin root of the volcano, Mongibello, meaning “beautiful mountain”. Created in 2001, since 2012 this fine natural wine has been bottled as a single vintage, alongside \u003cstrong\u003esingle crus\u003c\/strong\u003e such as Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo and Feudo di Mezzo-Porcaria. The grapes ripen on the northern slopes of Solicchiata, sourced from \u003cstrong\u003eold vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e over fifty years old, including rare century-old plots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frank Cornelissen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44681134735531,"sku":"53930","price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/frank-cornelissen-munjebel-rosso-2022_53930_1_650a77ea-53fd-4407-b61d-5894bcf71c3e.webp?v=1773743461","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-dk\/products\/frank-cornelissen-munjebel-rosso-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
